Chocolate Fruit Tarts

I saw this fruit tart recipe & I've been dying to try it ever since. Instead of the usual custard base, it uses white chocolate BUT I ended up burning my white chocolate. Accidents happens ok. So, improvise & use semi-sweet chocolate. Turned out ok but maybe next time I'll try using normal chocolate chips.
