Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cut in cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs; mix in egg yolk until just combined. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan. Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown, then cool completely.
  3. Bloom the gelatin in cold water. Heat milk until steaming, stir in gelatin until dissolved, remove from heat, and fold in chopped white chocolate until smooth. Cool slightly.
  4. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold into the cooled chocolate mixture to maintain airiness.
  5. Pour the mousse into the cooled tart shell, smoothing the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set.
  6. Decorate with fresh berries or chocolate curls before slicing and serving chilled.
