I can provide you with a recipe for a delicious blackberry tart with white ganache. It will be a pleasure to combine the scents of the forest with the delicacy of the ganache in a symphony of flavors.

Ingredients for the shortcrust pastry:

  • 250 g of 00 flour
  • 125 g of cold butter, cubed
  • 100 g of powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • A pinch of salt

Ingredients for the white ganache:

  • 200 ml of fresh cream
  • 200 g of good quality white chocolate, chopped

Ingredients for the topping:

  • 200 g of fresh blackberries

Preparation

Shortcrust pastry:

  1. In a bowl, combine the flour and butter, working them together with your fingertips to obtain a sandy mixture.
  2. Add the powdered sugar and a pinch of salt, mixing well.
  3. Add the egg and mix quickly until you have a smooth dough.
  4. Form a ball with the dough, wrap it in cling film, and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
  6. Roll out the dough into an even layer on a lightly floured surface and use it to line a previously buttered and floured tart tin, creating an edge.
  7. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden. Allow cooling completely.

White ganache:

  1. Bring the cream almost to a boil in a saucepan.
  2. Remove the cream from heat and add the chopped white chocolate. Let it rest for a minute and then stir until it becomes smooth and homogeneous.
  3. Pour the ganache over the cooled tart base and let it firm up in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Finishing:

  1. Once the ganache has set, arrange the fresh blackberries on top.
  2. You can keep the tart in the refrigerator until it’s time to serve.

Curiosity

Ganache is a chocolate cream of French origin, usually made with chocolate and cream, that lends itself to multiple uses in pastry. It can be used as a filling, icing, or base for truffles and other sweets. Its consistency and use depend on the ratio of chocolate to cream used in its preparation. The white version of ganache, used in this recipe, tends to be sweeter and more delicate compared to those made with dark or milk chocolate.

Happy cooking and a delicious tasting!
