Faq
- Why is my pastry base too crumbly?
Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately and to properly mix the dough until it's smooth.
- How do I know if my ganache is the right consistency?
Your ganache should be silky and shiny. If it's too thick, add a bit more warm cream; if it's too thin, let it cool slightly before using.
- Can I use white chocolate for the ganache?
Yes, but remember to adjust the cream-to-chocolate ratio as white chocolate is softer.
- Can I make this tart in advance?
Absolutely! Prepare and assemble the tart a day ahead, and store it in the fridge until serving time.
- How do I keep the raspberries fresh?
Place the raspberries on the tart just before serving to keep them freshest and juiciest.
- Can I freeze the tart?
Yes, you can freeze the tart without the raspberries. Thaw it in the fridge overnight and add fresh raspberries before serving.
