- 1 cup heavy cream

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped pistachios

Instructions
Prepare the Tart Crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a tart pan or individual tartlet pans.
- In a food processor, combine flour and powdered sugar. Add cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add egg yolk and ice water (one tablespoon at a time) while pulsing until the dough comes together.
- Press the dough evenly into the tart pan(s) and prick the bottom with a fork.
2. Bake the Crust:
- Bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow the crust to cool completely.
3. Assemble the Filling:
- Spread a thin layer of raspberry jam over the cooled tart shells.
- In a saucepan, heat heavy cream until it just simmers. Remove from heat and stir in white chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Add vanilla extract.
- Pour the white chocolate mixture over the raspberry jam layer in the tart shells.
4. Add Toppings and Chill:
- Sprinkle chopped pistachios generously over the filling.
- Chill the tarts in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
5. Garnish and Serve:
- Before serving, top with fresh raspberries for a pop of color and added freshness.
Notes
- For added texture, toast the pistachios lightly before chopping.
- Substitute raspberry jam with strawberry or apricot jam for variety.
- Store tarts in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
