    Oreo and strawberry white-chocolate tart

    Serves: 8 - 10
    Cooking Time: 1 hr 15 mins + 4 hrs or overnight, to set

    Ingredients

    • Base

    • 2 x 176g packets Oreo biscuits
    • 100g butter, melted
    • Strawberry coulis

    • 125ml (½ cup) water
    • 2,5ml (½ tsp) vanilla essence
    • 130g castor sugar
    • 300g strawberries, hulled and halved
    • Filling

    • 150ml cream
    • 300g white chocolate, melted
    • 5 strawberries, hulled and halved

    Instructions

    1

    For the base, grease a 36cm x 13cm tart tin. Place the Oreos in a food processor and pulse to a fine crumb. Pour into a mixing bowl, add the melted butter and stir to combine. Press the biscuit mixture into the tart tin to form a crust. Refrigerate to chill, about 1 hour.

    2

    For the coulis, add the water, vanilla essence and castor sugar to a saucepan and bring to a boil, without stirring, 15 minutes. Add the 300g strawberries and cook until soft, 10 minutes. Purée the mixture and set aside at room temperature to cool, about 20 minutes.

    3

    For the filling, heat the cream until just before boiling point. Combine the melted chocolate and cream and stir until smooth and well combined. Allow to cool for a further 10 minutes.

    4

    Remove the base from the fridge and pour in the chocolate and cream mixture until about two thirds full. Pour over 80ml coulis and swirl using a fork. Top with the halved strawberries and refrigerate to set before serving, at least 4 hours or overnight.
