First, prepare the base of the soft tart. Pour the egg into a bowl and incorporate the pinch of salt 1 and the sugar 2 while working with electric whisks. Continue until the mixture is well whipped 3.
Add the softened butter in pieces 4 and continue beating 5 until you get a smooth and homogeneous dough. Now add the milk at room temperature 6
and mix everything together with the electric whisks 7. Sift both the all-purpose flour 8 and the baking powder 9 inside.
Mix everything well, turning the electric whisks on at low speed 10, and gradually add the hazelnut flour 11, continuing to work with the beater to incorporate it 12.
Butter and flour a clever tart mold of 11 inches and pour the batter inside, leveling the surface with a spatula 13 14. Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 30 minutes on the middle shelf. Once cooked, take it out 15 and let it cool.
While the tart bakes in the oven, prepare the white chocolate cream. Coarsely chop the white chocolate 16. Heat the milk 17. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the yolks with the sugar and stir with a hand whisk 18.
Add the cornstarch 19 and mix 20. Pour half of the hot milk into the egg mixture 21. Stir well with a whisk to avoid lumps and add the remaining milk.
Transfer the mixture back into the saucepan 22 and bring to a boil, stirring constantly with a hand whisk, until the cream thickens 23. Turn off the heat and add the chopped white chocolate 24, stirring well until the chocolate is completely melted.
Add the limoncello 25, stir again until it's completely incorporated 26. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap in contact with the surface, and let it cool first at room temperature, then in the refrigerator. Meanwhile, prepare the syrup: in a saucepan, pour the water and sugar 27 and heat on the stove until it's completely dissolved.
Turn off the heat and add the limoncello 28. When all the bases are cold, take the soft tart 29 and soak it with the syrup just prepared using a kitchen brush 30.
Take the cream and work it with a spatula until it is smooth 31. Transfer it inside the tart 32 and level with a spatula 33.
Wash the strawberries well, remove the stem, and slice them 34. Use them to decorate the tart 35, garnish with chocolate chips and mint leaves 36. The soft tart with white chocolate cream and strawberries is ready: serve it or store it in the fridge.
