Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Roll out the pastry thinly and use to line a 23cm round, 4 cm deep, loose-bottomed flan tin. Line with baking parchment and baking beans. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the paper and beans and bake for a further 10 minutes until just golden all over. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Make the strawberry coulis by blending 150g of the strawberries in a food processor or push through a sieve until smooth then stir in the icing sugar. Transfer to a bowl and chill in the fridge until ready to serve. Place the white chocolate and 125g mascarpone in a bowl, set over a pan of barely simmering water and stir until it melts into a smooth sauce. Leave to cool slightly then whisk, blending in the remaining mascarpone until smooth. Stir in the cream until combined. Spoon into the pastry case and chill for 2-3 hours until softly set. Remove the tart from the tin and arrange the remaining strawberries over the tart. Serve immediately with the coulis drizzled over.
