Ingredients

200g white chocolate, chopped

300ml thickened cream

250g packet butternut snap biscuits

125g punnet blueberries

125g punnet raspberries

2 kiwifruit, peeled, halved and sliced

2 apricots, thinly sliced

Honey, to serve

Method

Step 1

Combine chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe glass bowl. Cook on MEDIUM-HIGH, stirring every 20 seconds, for 1 minute, until smooth. Refrigerate 1 hour until thickened.

Step 2

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Place a biscuit over each hole of a 12-hole, 1 1/2-tablespoon capacity, round-based tartlet pan. Bake for 2–3 minutes, until soft. Remove from oven, then carefully press softened biscuits into the pan, moulding into a cup shape. Let cool, then remove from pan and transfer to a serving plate. Repeat with the remaining biscuits.

Step 3

Using an electric mixer, beat thickened chocolate mixture until it is thick and holds its shape (don’t over beat). Just before serving, dollop mixture into tart cases. Decorate the tarts with blueberries, raspberries, kiwifruit and apricot. Drizzle with a little honey, if you like.
