- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Gel food coloring (blue, purple, pink, black)
- 1 tbsp corn syrup (for glaze)
- 1 tbsp gelatin powder
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- Edible glitter or stars (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press mixture into tart pans to form crusts.
- Bake the crusts for 8-10 minutes. Let cool completely.
- In a saucepan, heat heavy cream until just simmering. Pour over white chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Add vanilla extract.
- Pour the white chocolate filling into the cooled tart crusts. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
- To make the galaxy glaze, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let bloom for 5 minutes.
- In a saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk and corn syrup. Heat until warm, then add the bloomed gelatin and stir until dissolved.
- Divide glaze into small bowls and tint with different gel food colorings. Drizzle over set tarts and swirl gently with a toothpick to create a galaxy effect.
- Sprinkle with edible glitter or stars, if desired.
- Chill for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can use ready-made tart shells to save time.
- Don’t overmix the glaze colors to maintain the galaxy effect.
