TWD: Quick Classic Berry Tart

A super simple berry tart was chosen by Cooking with Cristine this week for Tuesdays with Dorie.
I was this close to skipping it...... see the hubs doesn't like berries, because they are too seedy. His distaste for strawberries is almost cause for divorce but I came to realize that it really just means more strawberries for moi! So I made this tart anyway. With a dastardly plan to keep his slice berry free. To please his pallet I made chocolate pastry cream instead of vanilla by tossing in 2 oz. of chocolate into a 1/2 recipe. And I lined the tart with a slather of white chocolate before filling it with the cream which gave the crust an extra snappy texture. So everyone is a wiener!
