Blueberries and white chocolate have a great affinity blending both in flavours and the striking colours that they both enjoy; black and white! The pie is made with a vanilla short crust pastry and indulgently filled with a white chocolate cream and blueberries (or if you prefer blackberries.) White chocolate is mixture of sugar, cocoa butter, and milk solids. Unlike dark chocolate, white chocolate contains other flavouring ingredients such as vanilla in order to create its creamy confection. Also white chocolate does not contain any caffeine as this is found in the cocoa solids and not the cocoa butter. Preparation Time: 25 minutes plus 4 hours to chill Cooking Time: 30 minutes Serves: 8 people

Ingredients:

Pastry 220g plain flour 180g unsalted butter 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla essence 30g icing sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar Pinch salt Filling 100g white chocolate 75ml double cream 200g Blueberries - washed

1) Combine all the pastry ingredients in a food processor until well combined. 2) Remove and wrap in cling film. Flatten and refrigerate for 1 hour. 3) Lightly flour the work surface and roll out the pastry so that it fits a 22 cm/ 9 inch loose based pie tin. 4) Cover with foil; insert baking beans and blind bake for 20 minutes at 200C/ 400F/ Gas mark 6. 5) Remove baking beans and foil from the pastry case. 6) To make the filling, melt the chocolate in a bain marie (a bowl over a saucepan of boiling water). Add 2 tablespoons of double cream. 7) When the chocolate is smooth remove from the heat to cool slightly. Stir in the remaining cream. 8) Spoon the mixture into the prepared tart. 9) Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. 10) Top with blueberries. To serve the stylish way: Dust with a little icing sugar just before serving.
