Today’s Christmas dessert is brought by Kate of Diethood. If you don’t know Kate (although I doubt since she’s very popular in the blogging world and sweeter than sugar) no, her blog has nothing to do with a diet. With recipes like Macarons with Lemon Buttercream Filling or Mojito Doughnuts you’ll forget about your New Year Resolution in no time!

Thank you, Roxana, for inviting me to share my recipe with your readers. I am so incredibly honored to be here.
Roxana was one of my very first blogger-friends. She left a lasting warm impression when one day she decided to try and share one of my very first recipes on her blog. I was so touched, and so happy, that I will forever be grateful. She doesn’t even know this, but because of her, all those doubts about food blogging went out the window the moment that I saw my recipe on her blog. Thank you, Roxana. xo
When Roxana and I got to know each other better, we realized that we had tons of stuff in common! She and I sorta, kinda hail from a similar part of the world; she’s from Romania and I’m from Macedonia. We’re both immigrants. She and I also had our daughters around the same time. She loves sweets. I love sweets. She loves to bake, I love to bake… See, we’re practically the same person!
As you all know, Roxana comes up with the most decadent desserts, that trying to replicate her stunning creations is simply impossible. But, I wanted to bring her something colorful, something vibrant, and something that Roxana would make. Thus, I present to you a White Chocolate Cranberry Tart. This dessert totally reminds me of her. You, too, right?
This tart involves a few steps, BUT don’t be discouraged; it is easy to make. First we’re going to start with making a cranberry sauce. Thereafter we will move onto the tart crust, and finally we’re going to fill the tart with white chocolate ganache and decorate it with pistachios and fresh cranberries.

Wow…..this is my kind of chocolate! I would inhale the tart and hide it from my family. It’s fun to see two of my favorite bloggers in the same ‘room’ at the same time. I love both you guys, and, since I ‘hail’ from around the same place too, I figure we have to stick together.
What do we do with the 1-1/2 c whipping cream? Does it get whipped and folded into the white chocolate?
The cream is combined with the white chocolate, just before you microwave it. If you read again under White Chocolate Filling it says : Combine white chocolate and cream in a microwavable bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir.
This is such a festive and yummy tart! The flavors are perfect together, some tart with the sweetness. Great recipe!
Roxana, thank you soooo much for inviting to your beautiful space!! I am honored. xoxo
… for inviting *me* …
I should not post anything until I have 10 cups of coffee… 😀
Beautiful tart, love the flavors and the prettiness of it;-) Your tart would make a show stopping dessert for Christmas or anytime around the holidays! Lovely guest post;-)
This looks decadent! My husband really loves white chocolate, this is the perfect X’mas dinner dessert for us.
Kate makes such amazing desserts – this tart is gorgeous!
that tart looks amazing! I love cranberry and white chocolate together! YUM!
Lovely balance of sweet and tart! If only I could reach through and help myself to a slice! Thanks for sharing, Kate!
This tart is the epitome of decadence! So gorgeous and tasty!
What a gorgeous tart, I love the white chocolate with the festive cranberries and pistachios! 🙂
OMG! I want a slice of that right now! Huge fan of Kate and Diethood, and glad to have found your blog today, Roxana 🙂
I really don’t know how it’s possible, but after looking at the recipe, this tart is even better than it looks! White chocolate over cranberry sauce in a crust! I’m in heaven! Gorgeous tart and fantastic recipe!
Oh dear god…that looks incredibly delicious! I want it and I want it now! Beautiful job Kate!!!!
I am in love with the beauty and flavors of this stunning tart: it’s a winner!
I’m kind of drooling behind my computer right now and it is not even 9 am so that’s gotta mean something. I’m already thinking of actually making this straight away since I have cranberries in the fridge waiting to be used!
What a beautiful dessert! I don’t see too many white chocolate recipes and this is very nice, especially with cranberries! Beautiful work, Kate!
Hi. I made this tart last night. My white chips and whipping cream are completely runny and never sat up. What did I do wrong? I melted a 12oz bag of chips with 1 1/2 cups of whipping cream.
