Description

A silky, elegant tart featuring a buttery cookie crust filled with a fluffy white chocolate mousse—light, indulgent, and perfect for special occasions or anytime you want a showstopping dessert.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups graham crackers or digestive biscuits, crushed
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz white chocolate, chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese or mascarpone, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Optional toppings: raspberries, strawberries, chocolate curls, mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Press crushed crackers mixed with melted butter into a tart pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes and cool completely.
  2. Melt white chocolate gently in a microwave or double boiler, and let cool slightly.
  3. Beat cream cheese or mascarpone until smooth. Mix in vanilla and melted white chocolate.
  4. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the white chocolate mixture until light and airy.
  5. Spoon mousse into the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully set.
  7. Just before serving, top with fresh berries, chocolate curls, or mint as desired.

Notes

  • Use a chocolate cookie crust for contrast.
  • Add citrus zest or almond extract to the mousse for flavor variations.
  • Layer a thin sheet of fruit jam under the mousse for a fruity twist.
  • Make mini tarts by preparing individual tart pans or muffin cups.
