Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3-5 tablespoons ice water
  • 8 ounces good quality white chocolate chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 pint fresh raspberries

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently after each addition. Continue adding water until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix; you want the dough to be slightly shaggy.
  • Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling the dough prevents the butter from melting and helps develop a tender crust.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness.
  • Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut out circles slightly larger than your tartlet tins. Gently press the dough circles into the tartlet tins, trimming any excess dough from the edges.
  • Prick the bottom of each tartlet crust with a fork. This prevents the crust from puffing up while baking. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crusts are lightly golden brown. Let the crusts cool completely in the tins before removing them.
  • While the crusts are cooling, prepare the white chocolate ganache. Place the chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not boil.
  • Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate and let it sit for about a minute to allow the chocolate to melt. Then, gently whisk the mixture until smooth and glossy.
  • Once the tartlet crusts are completely cool, spoon the white chocolate ganache into each crust, filling them to the top.
  • Refrigerate the filled tartlets for at least 30 minutes, or until the ganache is set. This chilling time helps the ganache firm up and makes the tartlets easier to handle.
  • Just before serving, arrange fresh raspberries on top of the white chocolate ganache in each tartlet. Get creative with your arrangement to make them look extra appealing!
