Summary

A buttery shortbread crust cradles a silky white chocolate custard, crowned with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries for a bright, glossy finish. Rich, creamy, and delicately sweet, it’s balanced by the tart freshness of peak-season berries.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the crust flour, cornstarch, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt.

  2. 2

    Add the softened butter and 1 egg yolk to the dry ingredients and work with your hands until a smooth dough forms.

  3. 3

    Press about half the dough evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch tart pan; use the remaining dough to line the sides uniformly.

  4. 4

    Bake the crust for 15 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. If the crust puffs, gently press it down with the bottom of a flat glass.

  5. 5

    For the custard, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan.

  6. 6

    Gradually whisk in the milk and 5 egg yolks until fully combined.

  7. 7

    Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a gentle boil and thickens; continue simmering and stirring for 2 minutes to fully activate the cornstarch.

  8. 8

    Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl. Immediately stir in the white chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla until smooth and melted.

  9. 9

    Pour the custard into the cooled tart shell. Refrigerate until fully set, at least 6 hours or overnight.

  10. 10

    Before serving, top with sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. If desired, thin strawberry jam with water and lightly brush over the berries for a glossy finish. Serve immediately.
