Pink Desserts Taste Better
Who doesn't love a love-themed, pink dessert? They're just so much sweeter for some reason. And my White Chocolate Valentine's Tarts don't need to be limited to just a Valentine's Day dessert....they're for anytime you feel like sharing the love! They're enough to make anyone embrace their inner romantic.
How To Create White Chocolate Valentine's Tarts
My Valentine's Day Tarts were actually adapted from a recipe I found in the Super Food Ideas magazine last Christmas. It's made from white Tim Tams (the best chocolate biscuit EVER invented!). If you can't get your hands onto some Tim Tams, then (apart from feeling sorry for you) I would suggest using another cream-filled cookie. A chocolate coated, cream-filled cookie is even better. More chocolate = more happiness!
The Tim Tams are thrown into a food processor and turned into a crumb. You then add some melted butter and that's your tart base -pretty simple! A teaspoon of raspberry jam is spread over each of the tarts and then topped with a pink white chocolate ganache. Once set, you can decorate it however you please. I used some gorgeous rose petals, freeze dried raspberries, as well as a couple of fresh raspberries.
I used loose-bottomed heart shaped moulds that were 10cm long and the mixture gave me 3 White Chocolate Valentine's Tarts (1 for you, 1 for your partner and 1 for tomorrow 😉). They are super sweet -so sweet that, for the first time ever, I didn't mind sharing!
No-Bake Desserts
I do love a no-bake dessert -it's just so easy to make ahead of time. No fussing at the last minute. If you're after some more no-bake inspo, check out my Mars Bar Slice and my No Bake Lemon Slice
So there you have it: my White Chocolate Valentine's Tarts; an impressive, but super easy and quick Valentine's Day dessert. If this doesn't turn you into a romantic, then I'm guessing nothing will!
