Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup Coles Brand caster sugar
- 1/3 cup cherry puree
- 80g butter, chopped
- Pink food colouring
- 90g white chocolate, chopped
- 24 cherries, stalks attached
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1/4 cup icing sugar
- 125g butter, chopped
- 1-2 tbsp cold water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C or 160C fan. Bake the pastry cases for 15 mins or until golden. Cool.
- Fill tart cases with cherry curd and top each with a white chocolate cherry.
- To make the pastry, process flour, icing sugar and butter in a food processor until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. With motor running, add enough water to form a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Bring dough together to form a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 20 mins.
- Grease two 12-hole 2 tablespoons patty pan trays. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface until 5mm thick. Cut twenty-four 7cm discs from pastry and line prepared pans. Prick bases with a fork. Chill for 20 mins.
- Whisk eggs and sugar in a large heatproof bowl until well combined. Add cherry purée and butter. Microwave, uncovered, on medium, whisking every minute, for 3-5 mins or until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Stir in food colouring, a few drops at a time, until pink. Cover and chill.
- Line a tray with baking paper. Stir the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water until melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Dip cherries in chocolate and place on tray. Set aside until set.
