Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a tart pan with some butter and set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Once the tart filling is set, arrange the raspberries decoratively on top of the tart.

White chocolate custard tart FAQ:
Bake the tart crust in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until it is lightly golden. Make sure to let it cool completely after baking.
The custard filling is done when it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon while stirring over low heat. Be cautious not to let it boil to prevent curdling.
You can use white chocolate chips instead of bars for convenience. However, avoid substituting with dark chocolate as it will alter the flavor and texture significantly.
Store any leftover tart in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. It's best served chilled for optimal texture and flavor.
A standard 9-inch tart pan is recommended for this recipe, as it allows enough space for the crust and filling while providing the right shape and thickness.
Tips:
- Make sure to use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- When melting the white chocolate, do it slowly and gently over a double boiler to prevent burning.
- Allow the tart to chill in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours to set properly before serving.
- To achieve a smooth custard, constantly whisk the mixture while cooking to avoid lumps.
- Garnish with fresh raspberries or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving for an elegant presentation.
