Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter
- 1 large egg yolk
- 8 ounces white chocolate (high quality)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon gelatin (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream (chilled)
- 1 cup fresh berries (seasonal)
- 1/4 cup chocolate curls (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, blend flour, powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Add egg yolk and cold water until the dough forms, then chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough for a 9-inch tart pan. Press into the pan, prick with a fork, line with parchment paper, fill with weights, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove weights and bake for another 10 minutes until golden. Allow to cool completely.
- If using gelatin, bloom it in cold water. Heat the milk until steaming, then stir in gelatin until dissolved. Mix in white chocolate until smooth, then add vanilla and cool slightly.
- Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture.
- Spoon mousse into the cooled tart shell, smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set firm.
- Top with fresh berries, chocolate curls, and mint if desired. Use a warm knife to slice and serve chilled.
