With the food processor motor running, carefully pour hot cream over white chocolate. Add almond liqueur, process until smooth. Pour mixture into a small bowl. Cover; Refrigerate for one hour or until cool and thickened.
  • Spread cooled filling in baked tart shell. Arrange raspberries over top. In small microwave safe cup combine 1 ½ oz. white chocolate and oil. Microwave on high heat for about 1 minute – checking every 10 seconds – or until melted. Stir until smooth; drizzle over raspberries. Refrigerate tart at least 2 hours or up to 1 day before serving.
