How do I make this pistachio ginger tart?
Again, we’ll split it into 2 parts.
For the crust:
- In a blender or food processor, blend the biscuits until they form fairly even, fine crumbs
- Melt the butter and add it to the biscuits. Mix them together.
- Spoon the mixture into the tart tin and push down to form a solid base
- Chill for 30 minutes while you make the white chocolate filling
For the filling:
- In a pan, heat the double cream until it starts to bubble. Don’t let it boil, just remove it from the heat.
- Add the chocolate, butter and ground ginger. You may need to stir the chocolate in to make sure that it melts fully.
- Pour the mixture and let it chill for 30 minutes to sn hour.
- Remove from heat 30-60 minutes, then leave st room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.

White Chocolate Tart in time for The Championships Wimbledon
With The Championships Wimbledon about to start it’s the best excuse for a new take on the strawberry tart. My tart recipe is a mix of sweet white chocolate and ginger, topped with fresh fruit and chopped pistachios added for crunch.
Anyone for tennis and a slice of tart?

What substitutions can I make?
I’m afraid that I’m no expert dietician and so this advice may not be perfect, however:
- For a more Christmassy version, try adding fresh cinnamon and plenty of fresh cranberries and orange zest!
- A lemon and white chocolate tart is also super easy to create! You could swap light to dark or milk chocolate, Then, just use plenty of citrus juice and let the tart keep it’s light summer flavours
- A dark chocolate cherry tart – use dark chocolate and lovely, juicy fresh cherries for a black forest-style tart!
So! Enjoy baking – and make sure to tag me a photo on social media if you give it a shot,
This is so super delicious. It’s a super simple base which has a lot of flavour on it’s own so the addition of fruits takes it to the next level. Perfect for parties and events all year long.

You could serve it with cream or ice cream but I think it works pretty well without!

Custard creams as a base?! Genius! This is revelatory. And what a beautiful set of images. Swoonworthy 🙂
Aww bless you that is easily the best comment I have ever had! Swoonworthy – I love it!
This looks amazing! I love the fresh fruit and pistachio is one of my favourite things! The flavour combinations are fantastic.
Simply too beautiful to eat. I bet the white chocolate and berry combo is out of this world!
This looks absolutely amazing! I’m lactose intolerant but I think I can play with your recipe a little and make a dairy free version! I’m so glad because I’m so excited to try it! Thank you so much for sharing your goodness
Oh let me know how you alter it. I would love to know how to make it dairy free.
I tried this recipe as a practice for our wedding. The chocolate didn’t set, so I am hoping to perfect it in time for the wedding. I used golden oreos for the base, they were delicious, maybe a touch too sweet, but I can adjust that. I am wondering if there is a certain type of white chocolate to use for the chocolate layer?
I added a raspberry coulis layer, it was delicious, and cut the sweetness, I am wondering if that may have affected the chocolate setting?
The ginger is amazing in this!
Thank you for this recipe!
Hi Ashley, that is so lovely to hear you are going to have this for your wedding. The raspberry coulis will definitely affect the white chocolate. However, I would suggest trying adding the raspberry coulis layer and then pop it in the fridge to set before adding the white chocolate. If that doesn’t work a drizzle of the coulis over the white chocolate would definitely work. That would give the white chocolate a good time to set. There isn’t a bar of white chocolate specifically that I use. Using a little less cream would help too.
