Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by beating the egg yolks with granulated sugar in a mixing bowl until pale and creamy, about 3 minutes.
- Heat ¼ cup of heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until small bubbles form. Gradually whisk it into the yolk mixture.
- Return the tempered mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring until thick.
- Finely chop the white chocolate and stir it into the warm custard until melted and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the remaining heavy cream until medium-stiff peaks form.
- Fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture in three additions.
- In a food processor, pulse together the flour, salt, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, and cold butter.
- Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Roll out the dough and fit it into the tart pan, then blind bake.
- Once cooled, pour the mousse into the crust and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Garnish with white chocolate shavings or fresh berries; slice and serve chilled.

Notes
For a lighter texture, beat egg yolks until pale. Melt chocolate carefully to avoid graininess. Ensure the crust is cooled before adding the mousse. Make ahead for enhanced flavor.
