  • 1/4 c milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 c all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
White Chocolate Cream Filling
  • 1 1/2 c whipping cream divided
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 4 oz cream cheese cold
  • 3/4 c whole milk

Method
 

Pastry Shells
  1. Preheat oven to 350. In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until fully combined. Add lemon juice, milk, egg, and vanilla and mix until combined.
  2. Add flour, baking powder and salt.
  3. Sprinkle the clean countertop with flour. Scoop balls of dough, about 2.5 teaspoons and roll lightly the flour. Spray a measuring cup with cooking spray and press the ball flat, until it is thin and about 3 inches in diameter. Lay the dough over an upside mini muffin pan, and press lightly to conform to the cut.
  4. Bake shells until edges are very barely golden brown, about 12 minutes. Refrigerate or freeze until ready to fill and serve.
White Chocolate Cream Filling
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl with a hand mixer, whip 3/4 cream with 2 tbsp powdered sugar, until stiff peaks form. Place into a bowl.
  2. In the stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth but still cool. Mix in the remaining 3/4 c cream and 3/4 c milk until fully blended and smooth.
  3. Gradually add the pudding mix, mixing slowly at first. Increase speed and beat until fluffy. Fold in whipped cream. Refrigerate until ready to fill shells.
Raspberry Topping
  1. Stir together boiling water, jello, and apple juice concentrate until jello is fully dissolved. Stir in 5 cups raspberries until raspberries are thawed. Refrigerate until soft set.
To assemble tarts
  1. Spoon white chocolate cream mixture into shells. Top with raspberry topping. Serve immediately.
