How to make the tart crust

Crust for these little tarts is so easy to make. You will need ALMONDS, PLAIN FLOUR, BROWN SUGAR, SALT, BUTTER, EGG YOLK and GRATED LEMON ZEST.

First toast almonds in the oven to enchance the flavour and grind them finely. Continue with placing flour, sugar, salt and almonds in the medium bowl, then rub cold butter, add grated lemon zest and in the end egg yolk. Knead until the dough comes together.

Wrap in cling film and let it cool in the fridge for 30 minutes.



Which tart tins to use for baking

These mini tarts are baked in mini tart tins. We love to use these 10cm/4 inch individual tart tins with removable bottoms and non-stick surface so you don't need to grease them.

These are ideal as they allow simple baking, easy removal of tarts and easy cleaning. They are made of high quality carbon steel which is durable and ideal for even and quickly tart baking.

Check out below in the recipe how to easily line tart tins with the dough.

White chocolate mousse + fresh raspberries

These little tarts are filled with light mousse made with white chocolate and whipping cream. Plus, a few tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Making the filling for these tarts couldn't be easier.



  1. First, broke white chocolate bar and melt with some cream in the double boiler, leave to cool.

  2. Using an electric hand mixer, beat the remaining whipping cream until soft peaks form.

  3. Fold the whipping cream into the melted white chocolate using a silicon spatula (don't forget to add lemon juice). Leave to cool in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

Assembling the tarts

Now, when we have ready pastry cases and white chocolate mousse, it's time for assembling the tarts. Just spoon the mousse on the top of pastries, then place a few fresh raspberries on the top.

Swap raspberries for any other berries you love or have on hand, strawberries, blackberries... 

Storing these little tarts

Store these tarts in the fridge covered with aluminium foil for up to 3 days.

  7. Roll each piece into rounds (around 2-3mm thick) large enough to line tart tins. Lift the pastry into each tin and press into sides. Trim the edges and prick the dough with a fork all over the surface. Place tart tins into the freezer for 10 minutes.

  8. Place tart tins in the oven rack and bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  9. TO MAKE THE MOUSSE FILLING, combine the white chocolate and 100ml whipping cream in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water. Stir until the chocolate is smooth and melted. Remove from the heat, stir in lemon juice and cool.

  10. Whip up the remaining cream (200ml) until soft peaks form. Fold a spoonful of the cream into the cooled white chocolate mixture, then fold the remaining cream. Cool in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
