Instructions
Sweet Almond Tart Dough
- In a mixer fitted with the paddle, cream butter, powdered sugar, and almond flour.
- Add the egg and mix until smooth.
- Add flour and salt; mix just until a dough forms.
- Roll the dough between two parchment sheets to 2 mm thickness. Freeze for 1 hour.
- Line a 19 cm perforated tart ring with the dough. Freeze again for at least 1 hour (or overnight in the fridge).
Strawberry Confit
- Cook the strawberries with lemon juice on low heat until softened.
- Mix the sugar and pectin together.
- Stir the pectin mixture into the strawberries and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 minute while stirring constantly.
- Blend until smooth, pour into a “Tourbillon” silicone mold, and freeze until solid.
Jasmine Whipped Ganache
- Bloom gelatin in cold water for 10 minutes.
- Heat 60 g cream and steep with jasmine tea for 15 minutes.
- Strain and reheat if needed, then dissolve gelatin into the hot cream.
- Emulsify in three additions over the white chocolate, mixing thoroughly after each.
- Add the cold cream and blend with an immersion blender.
- Cover with plastic wrap (touching the surface) and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (ideally overnight).
Almond Cream
- Cream softened butter, sugar, and almond flour.
- Add the egg and mix until combined.
- Cover and chill until ready to use.
- Bake the Tart Shell
- Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F).
- Bake the tart shell for 10 minutes. Remove the ring and let it cool slightly.
- Brush the inside with egg yolk and cream mixture.
- Fill the shell one-third full with almond cream and top with sliced strawberries.
- Bake for an additional 10–15 minutes. Cool completely.
Jasmine Crémeux
- Bloom gelatin in cold water for 10 minutes.
- Heat cream and infuse with jasmine tea for 15 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk yolks with sugar.
- Strain the infused cream over the yolk mixture, mix, and return to low heat.
- Cook to 83°C (181°F), stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in gelatin.
- Pour over the baked tart shell (on top of the almond cream). Refrigerate until fully set.
Assembly & Decoration
- Once the crémeux is set, unmold the frozen strawberry confit and place it in the center of the tart.
- Whip the jasmine ganache to soft peaks. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a 12 mm round tip. Pipe dots around the confit.
- Decorate with strawberry quarters, dried jasmine flowers, and microgreens.
Notes
âś… Notes
- Do not overwork the tart dough to avoid shrinking during baking.
- Avoid whisking the almond cream too much, or it will puff in the oven and leave no room for the Cremieux.
