Ingredients
  

For the Tart Base
  • 1 9-inch Pre-made Tart Shell Forms the essential base and structure of the tart; no substitutions recommended.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup White Chocolate Chips Provides creaminess and sweetness; can substitute with dark or milk chocolate.
  • 1 cup Fresh Cranberries Adds tartness to balance the sweetness; dried cranberries can be used.
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream Creates a rich, smooth filling; do not substitute.
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the tart filling; consider sugar substitutes to reduce sugar content.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Enhances the flavor profile; use pure for best results.

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Spatula
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for White Chocolate Cranberry Tart
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the pre-made tart shell on a baking sheet for easy transfer later.
  2. In a medium saucepan set over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips with heavy cream and stir continuously until smooth and creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Gently fold in the fresh cranberries using a spatula, ensuring even distribution throughout the filling.
  5. Carefully pour the silky filling into the prepared tart shell, spreading the mixture evenly.
  6. Place the baking sheet with the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the outer edge is set but the center jiggles slightly.
  7. Let the tart cool at room temperature for about an hour before serving to allow the filling to set properly.
