Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

Crust
1 1/2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
4 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 egg yolks
3 ounces imported milk chocolate (such as Lindt or Droste), finely chopped
Filling
3 tablespoons crème de cassis liqueur
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
1 1/4 cups chilled whipping cream
7 ounces imported white chocolate (such as Lindt or Droste), chopped
1 1/2-pint basket fresh raspberries
2 1-pint baskets strawberries, halved
2 ounces imported white chocolate for curls (optional)

Steps:

  • For Crust:
  • Combine flour, sugar and salt in large bowl. Add butter and cut in using fingertips or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Beat egg yolks to blend in small bowl. Pour yolks over flour mixture and stir with fork to combine. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate 30 minutes. (Dough can be prepared 3 days ahead. Keep refrigerated. Let dough soften slightly at room temperature before continuing.)
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll out dough between sheets of waxed paper to 14-inch round (scant 1/4 inch thick). Peel off top sheet of waxed paper. Using second sheet of paper as aid, invert dough into 11-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Carefully press into pan. Trim and finish edges, patching any holes with scraps. Freeze until firm about 15 minutes.
  • Line crust with aluminum foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until sides are set, about 23 minutes. Remove beans and foil and continue baking until crust is golden brown, piercing bottom with toothpick if crust bubbles, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven. Immediately sprinkle chocolate over crust. Let stand until chocolate melts, about 4 minutes. Using back of spoon, carefully spread chocolate over bottom and up sides of crust. Cool.
  • For Filling:
  • Measure 1 tablespoon crème de cassis liqueur into heavy small saucepan; sprinkle unflavored gelatin over and let stand 5 minutes to soften. Add 3/4 cup whipping cream and stir over low heat until gelatin dissolves. Add 7 ounces white chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Transfer to medium bowl. Refrigerate until cool but not set, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  • Whip remaining 1/2 cup whipping cream in medium bowl until soft peaks form. Add remaining 2 tablespoons crème de cassis and whip until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into white chocolate mixture. Fold in raspberries. Spoon filling into crust. Refrigerate until beginning to set, about 30 minutes. Arrange strawberries atop filling, cut sides down and points toward edge. To form optional white chocolate curls, slide vegetable peeler across white chocolate. Garnish tart with chocolate curls. (Tart can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Refrigerate.)

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

¼ cup semi sweet chocolate
2 cups frozen mixed berry, thawed
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon warm water
¼ cup powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Fill a small saucepan with about an inch of water and bring to a strong simmer. Place a medium heatproof bowl over the pot (making sure the bottom isn't touching the water) and add the chocolate chips. Melt, stirring often, until completely smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat but leave the bowl sitting over the water so the chocolate stays warm. Alternatively, microwave the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until melted and smooth.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the thawed berries with the cornstarch and granulated sugar until fully coated.
  • Lay the thawed puff pastry sheet on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the melted chocolate over to the center of the pastry and spread evenly, leaving a 1½-inch border around the edges. Scoop the berries on top of the chocolate. Fold the edges of the pastry over the berries.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and warm water until fully combined. Brush the honey mixture over the exposed pastry.
  • Bake the tart until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, 18-20 minutes. Remove the tart from the oven and let cool for 15-20 minutes.
  • Dust the tart with powdered sugar, then slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Transfer pastry rectangle to ungreased baking sheet. Pierce rectangle all over with fork. Brush with glaze. Arrange 1 pastry strip atop each edge of rectangle, trimming to join strips at corners. Brush with glaze. Top each edge with remaining pastry strips, covering corner seams and trimming to square off. Brush with glaze. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake 5 minutes. Pierce pastry rectangle (not sides) all over with fork. Continue baking until golden, about 20 minutes longer. Cool on rack.
  • Melt chocolate in top of double broiler over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon jelly; stir until melted. Add 2 tablespoons sour cream; mix until smooth. Spread in crust.
  • Melt remaining 1/4 cup jelly in small saucepan over low heat, stirring often. Combine berries in bowl. Add melted jelly; stir to coat. Immediately spoon berries atop soft chocolate in crust, covering chocolate completely. Chill just until set, about 1 hour. Let stand at room temperature. (Can be made 6 hours ahead.)
