How to Make a White Chocolate Fruit Tart That’ll Steal the Show This Fourth of July

Start with the Perfect Crust

First things first: preheat your oven to 350°F. While that warms up, grab a bowl and beat together softened butter, sugar, an egg, a splash of vanilla, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is light, fluffy, and irresistible.

Next, mix in the flour until the dough comes together. Give it a quick knead to form a thick disk, then wrap it up snugly in plastic wrap and pop it into the fridge for about an hour. This little nap helps the dough firm up so it’s easier to work with.

Roll, Press, and Bake

Once your dough has chilled, let it come back to room temperature—this will make rolling it out much smoother. Lightly flour your surface and roll the dough into a circle big enough to fit a 10-inch tart pan. Press it gently into the pan and don’t forget this little trick: pierce the bottom of the crust with a fork to create vents so it bakes up beautifully.

Bake your crust for about 20 minutes, or until it’s just turning golden brown and your kitchen smells like sweet, buttery heaven. Set it aside to cool completely while we work on that dreamy filling.

Make the Creamy White Chocolate Filling

Now for the magic: slowly melt some white chocolate chips with one cup of heavy cream until smooth and glossy. Take your time—low and slow is key here so the chocolate doesn’t seize. Once melted, beat in softened cream cheese until silky and luscious.

Pour this glorious mixture into your cooled crust, smoothing it out with a spatula. Cover it with plastic wrap and let it chill in the fridge for at least three hours. (This is the hardest part—waiting!)

Whip It Good

When your tart is set and ready to decorate, whip the remaining heavy cream with a tablespoon or two of sugar until you’ve got soft, fluffy clouds of whipped cream. Spread this over the top of the white chocolate layer like you’re frosting a cake.

The Star-Spangled Finale

Now for the grand finale: the fruit! Slice up fresh strawberries, gather some plump blueberries, and decorate your tart however your heart desires. Stripes, circles, or even a mini flag design—there’s no wrong way to make it shine.

Serve and Celebrate!

When you’re ready, slice into your masterpiece and serve it up. The buttery crust, the creamy white chocolate filling, and the sweet summer berries are pure magic together.

It’s the perfect red, white, and blue dessert for backyard barbecues, firework parties, or just a sweet moment shared with people you love.

Happy Fourth of July, friends!
