Preparation
• Almond sweet pastry
• Mix 100 g sugar, 100 g ground almonds, 80 g soft butter until you get a creamy texture. Add 1 egg and 1 pinch of salt. Finish with 170 g flour. Mix until you get a dough. Cover with film and leave to rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Line the round fluted tart ring of about 20cm. Place in the fridge while preparing the almond cream.
• Almond cream
• In a bowl, mix 50 g soft butter, 50 g sugar, 50 g ground almonds and 1 egg. Mix and pour the cream into the raw tart. Bake the whole thing for about 45 minutes at 170 degrees. Leave to cool and keep in the fridge.
• Whipped vanilla ganache (to make the day before)
• In a saucepan, heat until boiling 100 g of 30% fat liquid cream with 1 vanilla pod split in 2 and scraped.
• In a bowl put 60 g of white chocolate in pieces. Add the hot cream over the top and gently mix the ganache. Once the cream is even, add 100 g of cold liquid cream. Mix well with a hand blender to be sure there are no more pieces of white chocolate. Then place in a container in the fridge overnight.
• Strawberry confit
• In a saucepan, heat 150 g of strawberries and blend into a purée. In a small container mix 2 g of pectin with 20 g of sugar. When the fruit purée starts to boil, add the pectin/sugar mixture and let it boil for another two minutes while mixing well. If there are lumps, you can blend quickly with a hand blender, then put it in a container until cooled, then in the fridge.
• Assembly
• Once the tart base and the almond cream are baked. Spread a layer of strawberry confit.
• Whisk the very cold ganache with a beater at medium speed until you get a smooth, firm whipped ganache. Put the ganache in a piping bag and pipe your decoration around the tart. Add your cut fruit on the tart.
