Ingredients
Biscuit Base
- 300 g digestives
- 150 g unsalted butter
Berry Mix
- 300 g berries (frozen berry mix recommended)
- 100 g caster sugar
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 100 ml water
White Chocolate Ganache
- 300 g white chocolate
- 100 ml double cream
- 50 g unsalted butter
Decoration
- Fresh berries
- Freeze-dried raspberries
- Grated chocolate
Instructions
- Prepare Biscuit Base: Blitz the digestives to a fine crumb using a food processor or bash them in a bag with a rolling pin. Melt the unsalted butter in a separate bowl.
- Form the Base: Mix the biscuit crumbs with some of the melted butter until combined. Press this mixture evenly into the base and up the sides of a 9-inch tart tin to form a firm crust.
- Cook Berry Filling: In a pan, combine the mixed berries, caster sugar, cornflour, and water. Heat on low-medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit softens and breaks down into a thick compote-like filling.
- Assemble Base and Filling: Pour the softened berry mixture over the biscuit base and spread evenly. Let it cool at room temperature for 15 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set the filling.
- Make White Chocolate Ganache: Place the white chocolate, double cream, and butter in a heatproof bowl. Gently melt together, either over a double boiler or carefully in short bursts in a microwave, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Top the Tart: Pour the ganache over the chilled berry layer, spreading it evenly. Return the tart to the refrigerator and allow it to set for a couple of hours until firm.
- Decorate: Before serving, decorate the tart with fresh berries, sprinkle freeze-dried raspberries, and grate some chocolate on top for an elegant finish.
