Cranberry and White Chocolate Tart
OMG… this cranberry & white chocolate tart is just a perfect dessert for Christmas or New Year’s Eve party. With no baking required! Super creamy and sweet, balanced by slight tartness of cranberries. How could you say no to that? 😉
What ingredients do you need to make this tart?
You will also need some extra cranberries to decorate the tart. I usually cover them in sugar for wintery look. You will also need something green – you can use pine needles or rosemary.
How to prepare sugared cranberries for decoration?
Firstly, remove any old or soft cranberries. Then dissolve sugar (1/3 cup) with water (1/3 cup) in a small pot over low heat, then stir in cranberries until coated for about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon put cranberries on parchment paper. Let them set for about 15 minutes then roll them in granulated sugar. Let them dry for at least 30 minutes. Now your perfect wintery decoration is ready!
