Step-by-step
- Preheat the oven to 200C / Gas mark 6.
- Roll out the brioche slices thinly (the thinner they are, the neater the tart cases will be). Cut out one round from each slice using the pastry cutter.
- Brush the inside of each muffin cup with melted butter. Place a brioche round into each muffin cup and gently push into place to form a neat cup, flattening any folds.
- Brush the inside of each brioche cup with melted butter.
- Bake for 4-5 minutes until golden brown then transfer to a rack to cool and crispen (they will still be soft when they come out of the oven).
- Place the finely chopped white chocolate and the diced butter in a heatproof bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil then immediately pour over the chocolate and butter. Stir with a spatula until the chocolate has melted and the ganache is silky smooth. (You can warm the mixture very gently over a pan of hot water if the chocolate hasn’t all melted.) Proceed to the next step immediately as the ganache will start to set quickly.
- Put a small teaspoonful of jam into each brioche cup. Top with a generous teaspoonful of white chocolate ganache so that it comes up to the lip of the brioche cup.
- Place a raspberry on top of each one then transfer to the fridge to set for 20 minutes. Bring to room temperature and sprinkle with icing sugar to serve.
