Ingredients for this Blueberry Lavender White Chocolate Tart
- White chocolate- I recommend using high quality white chocolate for the best taste
- Fresh blueberries- they will be reduced to a thick syrup to flavor this tart
- Taylor & Colledge Lavender Paste- used to flavor this tart with a delicious lavender flavor
- Taylor & Colledge Vanilla Bean Paste- adds a sweet note to this tart
- Heavy cream- used in conjunction with the white chocolate to make a creamy ganache
- Graham crackers- get ground into crumbs and used as the crust for this tart
- Butter- melted butter binds the graham cracker crust together
- Granulated Sugar- just a little is used to sweeten the crust
How to Make this Blueberry Lavender White Chocolate Tart
For the Graham Cracker Crust
Add 4.5 oz. of graham crackers to a food processor and pulse until finely ground crumbs are achieved. Add 6 tablespoon of melted unsalted butter to a bowl along with the graham cracker crumbs and 3 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Mix until all is combined together. (The consistency should resemble wet sand).
Add the graham cracker mixture to an 8 inch tart pan. Firmly press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees. Then let cool completely.
For the Blueberry Lavender White Chocolate Filling
Add ¾ cup of fresh blueberries to a sauce pan and heat over medium heat until the berries release their juices. (Press on the berries with a spatula while they are heating to ensure all the juices release). Strain the blueberry reduction to separate the seeds from the juice. There should be about 2 tablespoon of juice.
Add 8 oz. of chopped white chocolate to a double boiler and heat until it is all melted. Then mix in ¼ cup + 2 tablespoon of heavy cream, the 2 tablespoon of blueberry reduction, 2 teaspoon of lavender extract paste, ½ teaspoon of vanilla bean paste and ⅛ teaspoon of salt.
When the tart crust is completely cooled pour the filling into it. Let the tart chill for 2-3 hours until set. Once set, top with berries and whipped cream. Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.

This recipe is absolutely wonderful. I made it for my husband and my parents over the weekend as a trial run for my sister's birthday in a few weeks, and everyone LOVED it. The filling flavors play so nicely together and the texture is amazing, somewhere between a pudding and a ganache. I bought the lavender and vanilla pastes just to make this and I'm so glad I did. And the COLOR!! When I started stirring the blueberry compote into the white chocolate, I worried it would be grayish at first, but it ended up looking just like the photos. Just gorgeous. Thank you for this amazing recipe, Ginny!!
Hi Emily! This makes me SO happy to hear. I am so glad you and your family loved it! This just made my day to read this!
Hello Ginny,
It is difficult for me to purchase the lavender and vanilla pastes in Canada. Can I use lavender water as a substitute and fresh vanilla beans for the pastes? If not, do you have other products to recommend?
Thank you! Looking forward to trying your recipe.
Amazing showstopper dessert! The lavender is an interesting flavor that surprises all.
