Base:
- 300 grams ground cookies (such as graham crackers or digestive biscuits)
- 150 grams melted butter
- 7 tablespoons milk
Fruit Cream:
- 400 grams fresh or frozen strawberries
- 50 grams sugar
- 30 grams cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
White Chocolate Cream:
- 300 grams white chocolate, broken into pieces
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 200 grams cream cheese
Instructions:
- Prepare the Base:
- Combine the ground cookies with melted butter and milk, adding the milk gradually to achieve a moldable mixture. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides (about 3 cm high) of a tart pan or a 26 cm diameter springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the fruit cream.
- Prepare the Fruit Cream:
- Place the strawberries and sugar in a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until the strawberries release their juice. Once the strawberries are soft and the mixture begins to boil, mash the strawberries.
- Dissolve the cornstarch in water and add to the strawberry mixture. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
- Spread the strawberry cream over the chilled biscuit base and refrigerate until fully set and cooled.
- Prepare the White Chocolate Cream:
- In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat. Add the broken white chocolate pieces and stir frequently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the melted white chocolate mixture and beat until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the white chocolate cream over the cooled strawberry layer and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set.
- Decorate and Serve:
- Before serving, run a thin knife around the edge of the tart to loosen it from the pan. Remove the springform ring or tart pan sides.
- Decorate the top with fresh strawberries or as desired. Serve chilled.
