DIRECTIONS:

Honey Mousse Cream
- Bloom 5g of gelatin in 25g of lukewarm water. Set aside.
- In the microwave at 30 second increments, melt the white chocolate and set aside.
- Whisk together the egg yolk and honey, then slowly whisk in the milk and liqueur/vanilla.
- In a saucepan, heat the milk mixture to 172-180F, stirring continuously. Strain the hot mixture over the white chocolate and stir until the chocolate is completely incorporated.
- Stir in the bloomed gelatin, then whip heavy cream about 60% before whisking in as well.
- Pour a thin layer of mousse over the graham cracker crust and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
Honey Lemon Jelly

- Add water, sugar, and honey to a saucepan and heat to 158F (70C).

Assembly
- Using a knife, lightly outline 7 even slices in the chilled mousse layer, then neatly arrange a different fruit along each slice.
- Once fruit is fully arranged, gently ladle the jelly mixture over the fruit layer until all fruit is covered and jelly reaches the top edge of the tart tray.
- Refrigerate the tart for 3-4 hours before carefully removing from the mold. Keep cold until ready to serve.
