Preparation Steps
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar, then cut in chilled butter until resembling coarse crumbs.
- Add egg and mix just until combined. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 190°C (374°F). Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness, fit into a tartlet pan, line with parchment, and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove weights, bake for an additional 5 minutes until golden brown, then cool on a wire rack.
- Whisk together egg yolks and sugar until pale. Heat 1 cup of heavy cream until warm, then whisk into yolks.
- Return to low heat, stirring continuously until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in chopped white chocolate until melted.
- Whip remaining heavy cream to medium-stiff peaks. Gently fold in chocolate mixture until combined.
- Spoon mousse into cooled tart shells, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Before serving, garnish with fresh berries or dark chocolate. Slice and serve.

Notes
Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and avoid overwhipping the cream to maintain the mousse's light texture. Chill pastry dough adequately to prevent shrinking.
