White Chocolate and Lemon Tart

Here is the white chocolate and lemon tart that I said I was making. 
Basically the recipe isn't much different from the "Easy Chocolate Tart", just a few tweaks here and there. Obviously the main difference is the replacement of dark chocolate with white and the lemony flavour. Hope you like it!


Makes one large tart

Ingredients

300g of white chocolate (broken up)
30g of butter
60ml of boiling water
a tablespoon and a half of lemon flavouring
200ml of double cream
170g of white mini marshmallows (Don't use the pink ones as they turn the mixture peach)
Shop-bought or pre-made pastry case


Method
  1. Place all the chocolate except 2 pieces (for grating), marshmallows and the butter into a decent sized pan (if you have a heavy bottomed pan then use that to minimize the risk of burning anything.)
  2. Pour the boiling water over the ingredients in the pan.
  3. Stir over a low heat.
  4. When the ingredients are almost fully melted take of the heat and leave to cool slightly.
  5. Add the lemon extract to the cream and whip until stiff peaks can form.
  6. Check if the chocolate is cool enough (I stick my finger in it and if I can keep it there then it's cool enough. But I can get away with that as it's only me and my girlfriend who eats it. If it's for others then I suggest measuring it by having a taste.)
  7. Mix in the whipped cream to the chocolate until thoroughly combined.
  8. Pour into pastry case
  9. Refridgerate for an hour.
  10. Once refridgerated, finely grate the white chocolate over the top.

Note
 
Goes great with single cream or a scoop of vanilla ice-cream.
