Ingredients

Scale

For the mousse:

  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 80 grams real white chocolate (Ghirardelli, Lindt, or Callebaut recommended)

For the tart crust:

  • 350 grams all-purpose flour
  • 125 grams unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
  • 125 grams sugar
  • 2 eggs + 1 egg yolk
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Make the mousse base: In a bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until pale and smooth. Heat ¼ cup of cream in a double boiler. Pour over the egg yolk mixture, stir well, then return to heat and cook until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Pour the hot mixture over chopped white chocolate and stir until melted. Let cool completely.
  2. Whip the remaining cream: Beat the rest of the cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the cooled chocolate mixture. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Prepare the pastry dough: Preheat oven to 190ºC (374ºF). In a food processor, pulse flour, salt, cayenne, and cinnamon. Add cubed butter and pulse to breadcrumb consistency. Add sugar, then eggs and yolk. Pulse until dough forms.
  4. Chill and roll dough: Wrap dough in greaseproof paper and refrigerate for 1 hour. Roll out chilled dough and cut to fit tartlet tins or muffin trays.
  5. Blind bake: Line tartlets with baking paper and fill with baking beans. Bake for 10 minutes, remove paper and weights, then bake another 5 minutes until golden. Cool on wire racks.
  6. Assemble the tartlets: Spoon mousse into cooled tartlet shells. Optional: garnish with fresh berries or a dusting of cinnamon and icing sugar.
