- To make the sugar dough: Combine the butter and sugar in a food processor until just blended (or cut the ingredients together with a pastry blender).
- Add the egg pulsing or tossing to combine.
- Add the flour and mix until it is just incorporated, no longer.
- Gather the dough into a ball, flatten it into a disk, and wrap in plastic wrap or wax paper and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, place the oven rack in the lower third of the oven.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
- Gently fit it, without stretching, into a buttered 10-inch Tart pan (preferably with a removable bottom and fluted sides).
- If you do not have a tart pan, you can use 10 inch or deep 9 1/2 inch pie pan.
- Trim off the excess dough, leaving a 3/4 inch overhang.
- Tuck in the overhanging dough, pressing the edges of the crust against the sides of the pan and forming a high, fluted border.
- Line the dough with a sheet of buttered foil (buttered side down) and weigh down with weights or beans.
- Bake the shell until the sides are set, about 12 minutes.
- Carefully remove the weights and foil and gently prick dough all over with a fork.
- Continue to bake until pale gold and baked through, about 5 minutes.
- Cool the pie shell completely on a wire rack.
- Making the White Pastry Cream: Bring the milk and vanilla bean to a boil.
- Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl until pale and light, about 1 1/2 minutes.
- Whisk in the cornstarch until smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat, and whisk 1/4 cup of the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture.
- Repeat once or twice.
- Scrape the warmed egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with the remaining milk and return to a boil, whisking the entire time, boil for one minute.
- Remove the pastry cream from the heat, and whisk in the butter and white chocolate until smooth.
- Strain the custard into a clean bowl.
- Place a sheet of wax paper or plastic wrap directly on the surface of the cream and refrigerate until cooled.

- Thinly slice the bananas and toss with the lemon juice.
- Fold the bananas and the liquers into the chilled pastry cream and gently fold in the whipped cream until blended.
- Fill the cooled pie shell with the filling.
- Gently scatter the chocolate curls over the filling, covering the tart completely.
- Very lightly dust the chocolate curls with cocoa powder and serve.
- To make the chocolate curls: Melt the white chocolate in a double broiler until smooth.
- Pour the chocolate onto a marble slab or the back of a smooth baking sheet.
- With a spatula, spread out the chocolate into an even 1/8 thick layer.
- Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Steps:
- To Make White Chocolate Pastry Cream: In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until pale yellow. Whisk in cornstarch.

- In a large bowl, whip chilled whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into pastry cream, then fold in bananas and liqueurs. Fill tart shell with banana cream filling.
- Top generously with white chocolate curls, then dust with cocoa. Serve soon after assembling so crust doesn't get soggy.
- To make white chocolate curls, carefully draw a vegetable peeler across the broad, flat surface of a room-temperature (about 80 degrees) chunk of white chocolate to make large, thin curls. Refrigerate until ready to use.

WHITE CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
Tips: Use unsalted sweet butter. Unsalted sweet butter has a higher melting point than salted butter and this prevents your frosting from becoming too soft. Also, adding 1-2 tablespoons of Meringue Powder to frosting recipes acts as a stabilizer, keeping shortening and other liquids from separating, especially in hot weather.

WHITE CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
This recipe comes from "The Cake Bible" by Rose Levy Beranbaum. This ivory-colored buttercream is mellow and creamy - a perfect compliment for cheesecake. It makes an unusual and spectacular presentation because it pipes wonderfully and is the identical color of the cheesecake within.

Steps:
- Break the chocolate into individual squares and place in a bowl set over a pot of hot water (no hotter than 160 F) on low heat.
- The water must not touch the bottom of the bowl.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir until the chocolate begins to melt.
- Return to the heat if the water cools, but be careful it does not get too hot.
- Stir until smooth.
- (The chocolate may be melted in a microwave on high power if stirred every 15 seconds. Remove before fully melted and stir, using the residual heat to complete the melting.) Allow the chocolate to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
- In a mixing bowl beat the cream cheese (preferably with a flat beater) until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually beat in the cooled chocolate until smoothly incorporated.
- Beat in the butter and lemon juice.
- Use at once or to ensure smoothness rebeat at ROOM TEMPERATURE (to prevent it from curdling) before frosting.
- Store: 1 day room temperature, 2 weeks refrigerated, 2 months frozen.
- Allow to come to room temperature before rebeating.
- Pointers for success: Do not overheat the chocolate and stir constantly while melting.
- Be sure no moisture gets into the melted chocolate.
- Beat constantly while adding the chocolate to prevent lumping.
- If lumping should occur, it can be remedied by pressing the buttercream through a fine strainer.
- Buttercream may separate slightly if room temperature is very warm.
- This can be corrected by setting the bowl in ice water and whisking the mixture.
- The buttercream becomes spongy on standing.
- Rebeat to restore smoothy creamy texture.
- Use ice to chill your hand during piping to maintain firm texture of the buttercream.

CHOCOLATE PASTA WITH CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT CREAM SAUCE, WHITE CHOCOLATE SHAVINGS AND FRESH BERRIES
Steps:
- For the pasta: Sift together the flour, cocoa and sugar. Add a pinch salt and mound the flour mixture in a large bowl or on a clean work surface. Hollow out the center, making a well in the middle of the flour with steep sides. Break the eggs into the well. Add the chocolate syrup and vanilla. Gently mix together with a fork. Gradually start incorporating the flour by pulling in the flour from the sides of the well. As you incorporate more of the flour, the dough will start to take shape. Once it gets thick, you can use a spatula to incorporate the rest of the flour.
- If the dough is too dry, add a little water. If the dough is too wet or sticky, add a little flour. Once the dough comes together, knead the dough on a clean work surface until it becomes smooth, about 8 minutes. Shape into a disc, cover with plastic wrap and let rest in the fridge, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Divide your rested dough into quarters and work with one piece at a time, covering your other pieces to keep them moist. Flour each piece lightly, shape it into a rectangular shape and put it through a pasta sheeter attachment, starting at the widest setting. Run the dough once through the largest setting, fold it into thirds and run it through one more time. Then run the pasta through the sheeting attachment once on every number, stopping at 5 or 6, depending on how thick you would like it. Lightly flour the rolled out pasta sheet and fold in half. Take your chef knife and cut ribbons about a 1/2-inch thick, then unravel the pasta ribbons and place on a floured baking sheet to keep from sticking.
- For the sauce: Bring the heavy cream to a simmer in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat and stir in the chocolate-hazelnut spread. Add a pinch salt and continue whisking until the sauce is creamy. Remove from the heat and reserve.
- Cook the chocolate pasta in a large pot of boiling water, 3 minutes. Immediately remove the pasta from the water and toss gently with the sauce and a little of the pasta cooking water to help with the consistency.
- Mound the pasta and sauce on dessert plates and garnish with the fresh berries, a dollop of creme fraiche, white chocolate shavings and skinless toasted chopped hazelnuts, to garnish.
