Method
Prepare Pastry Dough
- In a large bowl, blend together flour, salt, and a pinch of cinnamon for added warmth. Cut in chilled butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Mix in sugar and one egg to form a cohesive dough. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
Bake Tart Shells
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (374°F). Roll out the chilled dough to about ¼ inch thick. Fit into tartlet tins, trim excess, line with parchment paper, and weigh down with baking weights. Bake for 10 minutes, remove weights, then bake for an additional 5 minutes until golden. Cool on wire racks.
Make Mousse Filling
- Beat egg yolks and sugar in a medium bowl until pale and creamy. Gently heat heavy cream in a saucepan until steaming. Gradually combine warm cream with yolk mixture, stirring constantly. Heat over low, then mix in chopped white chocolate. Allow to cool completely.
Whip and Combine
- Whip another cup of heavy cream to medium-stiff peaks in a clean bowl. Fold whipped cream into cooled white chocolate mixture carefully to preserve airy texture. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Assemble and Chill
- Once tart shells are completely cool, spoon the mousse into each shell, smoothing the tops. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for best results.
Garnish and Serve
- When ready to serve, remove from fridge and garnish with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or mint leaves. Enjoy the beautiful layers of creamy mousse and flaky crust!
