  6. Return tart tin to oven and cook for a further 15 minutes. Remove tart from oven, allow to cool.
  7. Meanwhile to make the filling, place the chocolate and half the yoghurt together in a small bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring until chocolate is just melted.
  8. Add the remaining yoghurt, stirring until combined, the allow mixture to cool to room temperature.
  9. Place the mascarpone in a large mixing bowl and using electric beaters, beat until light and fluffy. Add the white chocolate mixture, stirring until just combined.
  10. Spoon filling into prepared tart shell and smooth top with a spatula. Cover and chill for 2-3 hours.
  11. To serve, carefully place the strawberries on top of the filling. In a small bowl heat the redcurrant jelly in the microwave (on medium) for 30 seconds.
