<ul class="equipment-main-list"> <li class="equipment-single-item">23cm fluted tart tin with removable base</li> <li class="equipment-single-item">Baking beans or rice (for blind baking)</li> <li class="equipment-single-item">Baking parchment</li> <li class="equipment-single-item">Food processor (optional)</li> <li class="equipment-single-item">Fine mesh sieve</li> </ul>

Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4> Start by making the pastry. In a food processor (or by hand using your fingertips), combine the flour, cold butter cubes and salt until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. This cold-butter technique creates flaky layers in your finished pastry. Add the icing sugar and pulse briefly to combine. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4> Mix the egg yolk with 2 tablespoons of ice-cold water. With the processor running, slowly add this liquid until the dough just begins to come together - it should look slightly crumbly but hold together when pressed between your fingers. If needed, add the remaining water, but be careful not to overwork the dough which would develop gluten and make your pastry tough. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4> Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape into a disc without kneading. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to relax the gluten and firm up the butter. This chilling time is crucial for preventing pastry shrinkage during baking. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4> Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Roll the chilled pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 3-4mm thickness and a diameter large enough to line your tart tin. Carefully transfer the pastry to the tin, gently pressing into the fluted edges without stretching. Trim any excess, leaving a small overhang to allow for shrinkage. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4> Prick the base all over with a fork, then line with baking parchment and fill with baking beans or rice. Blind bake for 15 minutes, then remove the paper and beans and return to the oven for another 5-7 minutes until the base is golden and crisp. The blind baking ensures your pastry base won't become soggy once filled with custard. Trim any remaining overhang while still warm, then allow to cool completely. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4> For the custard filling, pour the milk into a medium saucepan. Add the split vanilla pod and scraped seeds (or vanilla extract). Heat gently until just below boiling point, then remove from heat and allow to infuse for 10 minutes before removing the pod. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4> In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornflour until pale and thick. Gradually pour the hot vanilla milk over the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Return this mixture to the clean saucepan. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 8</h4> Cook the custard over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, reaching into the corners of the pan. The mixture will gradually thicken - this should take 5-8 minutes. Don't rush this process or your custard may become lumpy. The custard is ready when it coats the back of the spoon and a finger drawn through leaves a clear path. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 9</h4> Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and incorporated. Pass the custard through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps, then cover the surface directly with cling film (to prevent a skin forming) and allow to cool for about 10 minutes. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 10</h4> Pour the slightly cooled custard into your pastry case and smooth the surface with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until completely set. The custard should be firm enough to hold its shape when the tart is sliced. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 11</h4> For the white chocolate topping, place the chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat the double cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer, then pour over the chocolate. Let it stand for 2 minutes, then stir gently until completely smooth and glossy. White chocolate is more delicate than dark, so be careful not to overheat it or it may split. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 12</h4> Allow the white chocolate mixture to cool slightly but remain pourable (about 5 minutes). Pour over the set custard, tilting the tart to ensure even coverage. Return to the refrigerator for at least 1 hour until the chocolate layer has set completely. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 13</h4> To serve, carefully remove the tart from the tin and transfer to a serving plate. For the cleanest slices, warm your knife in hot water and wipe dry before each cut. Garnish with fresh berries if desired. This tart is best enjoyed at cool room temperature, so remove from the refrigerator about 20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to fully develop. </li> </ol>

FAQs

What ingredients are used in White Chocolate Custard Tart Recipe?

The main ingredients include plain flour, unsalted butter, eggs, whole milk, vanilla, caster sugar, cornflour, and high-quality white chocolate. You'll also need icing sugar, salt, and double cream. Optional garnishes include fresh berries for a vibrant finish.

How to cook White Chocolate Custard Tart Recipe at home?

Learn how to cook White Chocolate Custard Tart by first making a buttery shortcrust pastry, blind baking until golden, then creating a silky vanilla custard filling. Once the custard has set in the pastry case, top with a glossy white chocolate layer made from melted chocolate and cream. Chill thoroughly before serving for the perfect texture and flavour.

Why is blind baking necessary when making custard tarts?

Blind baking creates a barrier between the wet filling and pastry, preventing a soggy bottom. This crucial step ensures the pastry base cooks completely and develops a crisp texture that contrasts beautifully with the silky custard filling and remains structurally sound when sliced.

How can I prevent my custard from becoming lumpy?

To achieve silky-smooth custard, cook over medium-low heat while stirring constantly. Gradually incorporate hot milk into egg mixture while whisking to prevent scrambling. Strain through a fine sieve before cooling, and place cling film directly on the surface to prevent skin formation.

What's the best way to achieve clean slices when serving a tart with white chocolate topping?

For pristine slices, dip your knife in hot water and wipe dry between each cut. Allow the tart to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving—this softens the chocolate layer slightly while keeping the custard firm, resulting in perfect, restaurant-quality presentation.
