In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, cream and vanilla.
1 Egg Yolk, 1 Tablespoon Heavy Cream, 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla
In a food processor, add the flour, powdered sugar, salt and butter. Pulse a few times until it resembles coarse sand.
1 1/4 Cups Flour, 2/3 Cup Powdered Sugar, 1/4 teaspoon Salt, 8 Tablespoons Butter
With the machine on, pour in the egg mixture and continue to run the machine until the dough begins to come together.
Create a flat disc with the dough and wrap in saran wrap.
Place in the fridge for 1 hour.
Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
Place parchment paper in an 8x9" baking dish and press the dough across the bottom.
Prick all over with a fork.
Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Remove from the oven to cool while you proceed with the berries.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat add the blackberries, cranberries, sugar, orange juice and flour.
1 Cup Blackberries, 2 Cups Cranberries, 3/4 Cup Sugar, 1/2 Cup Orange Juice, 1 Tablespoon Flour
Stir everything together and bring to a boil.
Turn down to a simmer and allow to cook for about 10 minutes or until the cranberries have burst and the mixture is beginning to thicken.
Place in a strainer bowl to release any excess juice so the bars will set up, and put in the fridge to cool.
Turn the oven down to 350. Proceed to make the cream filling.

Begin the filling by whisking together the creme fraiche, eggs, egg yolk, sugar, flour, orange juice and vanilla.
8 Ounces Creme Fraiche, 3 Large Eggs, 2 Cups Sugar, 3/4 Cup Flour, 1 Tablespoon Orange Juice, 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
Pour onto the baked tart crust.
Remove the berry mixture from the fridge and scoop large spoonfuls over the creme fraiche and then use a spatula to swirl everything together.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Make the streusel topping while it bakes.

Combine the flour, sugar and brown sugar in a bowl and then cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork.
1/2 Cup Flour, 2 Tablespoons Sugar, 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar, 1/4 Cup Butter
When the bars are done with their 30 minutes of baking, remove from the oven and cover with the streusel topping.
Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the top is beginning to turn golden. The center will still be a little jiggly.
Remove from the oven.
Allow the bars to cool for 30 minutes then place in the fridge for at least 4 hours to set up.
For serving, melt the white chocolate at 15 second intervals, stirring each time.
1 Cup White Chocolate Chips
Drizzle over the bars and sprinkle with sugared berries.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook the water and sugar until the sugar has dissolved.

1 Cup Cranberries
Spread over a cooling rack for 1 hour.
Place the cranberries in a bowl with the 1/3 cup sugar and toss to coat.
1/3 Cup Sugar
Serve over the bars.
