White Chocolate and Raspberry Tartlets

I've been craving the combination of white chocolate and raspberry lately. I'm glad I found this recipe because it definitely satisfied that need. A good quality white chocolate is key to this recipe working. The pastry recipe for this also adds a lot to the dish. It's an excellent shortbread style dough.
