Lovely tart, every body liked it.I used cream cheese and blackberries,as they weren't very sweet I sifted powdered sugar before the filling.Next time I will try it with white grapes.

This was so EASY and so DELICIOUS!!!! Took me all of 10 minutes to make it. My bf (who is a big white chocolate lover) asks for this all the time. Thank you for posting

I had high expectations for this and was not disappointed! Tastes like a gourmet cream pie. I made two changes, I used a shortbread crust which went beautifully, and I substituted cream cheese for the mascarpone. I'm not sure how much of a difference this makes, but the tart was creamy and had a nice flavour! I used only about one cup of raspberries, fortunately, or my filling would not have fit. If you need to chill it quickly, put it in the freezer for a bit. My guests were impressed! Thanks Lovesweets!
