Instructions:
Make the Pastry Crust
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

Make the Filling
- In a medium bowl, whisk together raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice until well combined.
- Stir in white chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
Assemble and Bake the Tart
- Arrange the filling on one half of the pastry crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
- Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling, pressing edges to seal.
- Brush top of pastry with beaten egg.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until pastry is golden brown.
Serve
- Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
Variations:
- Substitute other types of fruit, such as strawberries or blueberries, for the raspberries.
- Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top of the tart before baking.
- Use fresh berries instead of frozen ones.
- Make individual tarts by dividing the filling among several pastry squares and baking in mini muffin tins.
