Description
A delicious dark and white chocolate tart, served brilliantly with strawberries. A decadent treat that I have made so many times, which is great for an indulgent night with the ladies and lots of wine! You can use any type of berries for the topping.
Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons ice water
- ½ cup white chocolate
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- ½ orange, zested and juiced

- 3 cups chopped strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a pie tin with butter.
- Blitz flour
- cocoa powder
- sugar
- and salt together in a food processor. Cut butter into small pieces and add to the food processor with the flour mixture. Pulse until dough turns crumbly. Add egg yolk and 1 tablespoon ice water and mix until dough clumps up. Add remaining 1 tablespoon water if dough is too dry.
- Pour dough onto a work surface and push together to form a ball. Pat the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared tart tin to create an even surface. Place crust in the freezer for 1 hour.

- about 15 minutes.
- Add mascarpone cheese
- cream cheese
- orange zest
- and orange juice to the bowl with the melted and cooled white chocolate. Mix until smooth. Gradually drizzle heavy cream into the mixture until the desired thickness is reached; mixture shouldn’t be too runny. Refrigerate filling until needed.

- 25 to 30 minutes. Cool shell completely before filling
- about 30 minutes.
- Pour filling into the cooled pie shell
