Fran’s birthday tart

aka White chocolate and strawberry tart
aka White chocolate and strawberry tart with a few strawberries for good measure.

This one was from a Good Housekeeping magazine. Fran loves white chocolate so it was a must for her birthday.

The case called for ground hazelnuts, but I used almonds. Made for a crumbly pastry that was hard to handle (hence slightly raggedly edge. Really must work on my pastry skills), but nice to eat.

The filling was white chocolate melted together with mascarpone, plus a bit of whipped cream. Yum. Seriously yum, if rich. But hey, rich + a bit of fruit is good right?

It was rather nice, but I stupidly forget to take the recipe.
