A sweet white chocolate drizzle perfectly balances the tangy cranberries in my signature holiday dessert. I also make this tart for local coffee houses and restaurants. —Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

Ingredients

1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
3 tablespoons sugar
1-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
2/3 cup white baking chips
FILLING:
2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons butter
TOPPING:
2/3 cup white baking chips
2 teaspoons shortening
1/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. Place almonds and sugar in a food processor; pulse until almonds are ground. Add flour and salt; pulse until blended. Transfer mixture to a small bowl; stir in melted butter and cream. Press onto bottom and up side of an ungreased 9-in. fluted tart pan with removable bottom.
Bake 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven; sprinkle baking chips evenly over bottom. Cool on a wire rack.
In a saucepan, combine filling ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 10-15 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Pour over baking chips in pan.
Bake 20-25 minutes or until filling is bubbly and crust is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate 2 hours or until cold.
For the topping, in a microwave, melt baking chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Drizzle over tart. Sprinkle with almonds.

Sugared Cranberries

Heat 3 tablespoons light corn syrup in microwave until warm; gently toss with 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, allowing excess syrup to drip off. Toss in 1/3 cup sugar to coat. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set, about 1 hour.
