Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 115 grams unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 50 grams powdered sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons ice water
- 200 grams white chocolate
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 150 grams cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 grams mixed fresh fruits (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons apricot jam
- 1 tablespoon water (for thinning jam)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
In a large bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
Add the egg yolk and ice water to the flour mixture. Mix until the dough just comes together. If it's too dry, add an extra teaspoon of ice water. Do not overwork the dough.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a circle about 3 millimeters thick. Gently transfer it into a 9-inch tart pan, pressing it into the edges. Trim any excess dough hanging over the sides.
Prick the base of the dough with a fork to prevent puffing during baking. Line the dough with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans.
Bake the tart shell in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment paper, then bake for another 5 minutes until lightly golden. Let it cool completely.
To prepare the filling, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to steam but not boil.
Pour the warm cream over the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 1 minute, then stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Add the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture. Beat or whisk until smooth and creamy.
Pour the white chocolate filling into the cooled tart shell, spreading it out evenly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until the filling is set.
Arrange your fresh fruits in a decorative pattern on top of the set white chocolate filling. Be as creative as you like!
In a small saucepan, combine the apricot jam and water. Heat gently until the mixture becomes thin and smooth.
Use a pastry brush to glaze the fruits with the apricot mixture, giving them a glossy finish.
Refrigerate the tart until ready to serve. Slice and enjoy your Five Star White Chocolate Fruit Tart!
