I feel like white chocolate is an underestimated ingredient. Many people choose to work with milk and dark chocolate and to be honest so do I. Recently I was doing 'chocolate inventory' (as in, I was looking for more chocolate to eat!) and I realised that I had lots of white chocolate in the cupboard and I thought I would show you all a quick and simple dessert recipe. Perfect for the Sumer months, because it's so hot, you don't want to turn on the oven, even for a second. So this recipe was a must. When I told my husband about this no bake white chocolate strawberry tart, he was over the moon. So obviously I had to get to work right away.
As we all know, white chocolate and strawberry are classic flavours that go together so well and taste amazing. The sweet taste of white chocolate really compliments the sweet and tart of the freshness in the berries. Like a little party in your mouth. Need I say more?
This recipe is super easy and serves 12 people. It is perfect for fancy dinners because when you serve it, it looks like it took you forever to make. But you don't need to tell anyone it took you less time to put this together than it takes for you to go out and pick something up for dessert. So let's get started...

Pour the white chocolate ganache over the tart base. Add half of the coulis in dollops over the white chocolate ganache. Using a knife to swirl the mixture. Don't make too many swirls in the top of the tart.
