Equipment

  • tart pan
  • mixing bowls
  • whisk or hand mixer
  • spatula
  • oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups crushed shortbread cookies
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pistachios
  • 6 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate (chopped or chips)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for melting)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (whipped)
  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries (powdered)
  • 1 tsp rose water (optional)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • a few drops pink food coloring (optional)
  • 6–8 fresh strawberries (thinly sliced)
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam or jelly
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Mix crushed cookies, pistachios, and melted butter until combined. Press into tart pan and bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  • Heat 1/2 cup cream and pour over white chocolate. Let sit, then stir until smooth. Add strawberry powder, rose water, salt, and coloring. Cool to room temperature. Whip remaining cream and fold into mixture.
  • Spoon filling into cooled crust and smooth the top. Chill for 30 minutes until slightly set.
  • Arrange thinly sliced strawberries in overlapping circles starting from the center to create a rose pattern.
  • Warm jam with water and brush over strawberries. Chill another 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use very thin strawberry slices for the best rose effect. Chill the filling before decorating for stability. Avoid overheating the cream when melting chocolate. For a nut-free version, replace pistachios with oats or extra cookie crumbs. Rose water can be substituted with vanilla or lemon zest.
