A real summery delight, this tart is easy to make if you use a commercial tart case and a commercial curd.<\/p>\n

This is a tart version of a cake I was commissioned by Sainsbury\u2019s to make several years ago:<\/p>\n

For this tart I use passionfruit curd. While I like to make the curd, you can buy good commerical ones online or in many garden centre shops. However, a good quality lemon curd also works well.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t want to make the pastry cases you can also buy good pre-baked tart cases from most supermarkets: you can use one large tart case or several small, individual ones. Just check the pastry cases carefully on the shelves as they are prone to breakages!<\/p>\n

The white chocolate in the filling is mainly there to stabilise it, holding everything gloriously in place in a mousse-like way. However, the white chocolate that is brushed along the inside of the pastry case not only adds a lovely chocolate flavour, it provides a barrier between the filling and the pastry to ensure the pastry remains crisp.<\/p>\n

You can use thick Greek yoghurt in place of double cream for a tangier and (slightly) lighter filling. However, for an even simpler filling you can just use whipped double cream or a carton of good quality custard \u2013 although if you fold the custard into the whipped cream, you get a sublime mixture that goes so well with the fruit.<\/p>\n

Finishing the tart<\/h3>\n

Sometimes I pile the strawberries on top in a random way (whole, halved or chopped up), but at other times I slice them and arranging them carefully.<\/p>\n

If you like piping, you can reserve some of the filling and pipe some of it on top as in the photo below, but it still looks lovely without this \u2013 as in the photo above.<\/p>\n

I also like to use up other fruits that are available \u2013 fresh blueberries, raspberries are particular favourites of mine \u2013 and crushed up pistachios or walnuts for added flavour and crunch. These are, of course, entirely optional!<\/p>\n

Recipe: strawberry, passionfruit and white chocolate tart \u2013 serves 8-10<\/h2>\n
