Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a tart pan with some butter and set aside.
2. Make the Crust:
- In a medium-size bowl, mix together 2 tbsp of sugar and 1/2 cup of butter until it forms a creamy mixture.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add 1 tbsp of water and mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of the prepared tart pan.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until it is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
3. Prepare the Filling:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate and heavy whipping cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten.
- Gradually add the hot milk to the beaten eggs, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.
- Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Stir the melted chocolate mixture and 1 cup of light sour cream into the saucepan until smooth and well combined.
4. Assemble the Tart:
- Pour the white chocolate custard mixture into the cooled tart crust, spreading it evenly.
- Refrigerate the tart for at least 2-3 hours, or until the filling is set.
5. Add the Raspberries:
- Once the tart filling is set, arrange the raspberries decoratively on top of the tart.
6. Serve:
- Carefully remove the tart from the pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
- Slice and serve chilled.
