This is take 2 and I’m almost there! I made it using a ready made pure butter shortcrust dough but i didn’t blind bake it. The brownie part was delicious but the crust didn’t really work for me! I’m working on my third attempt, do you think it will be the last? How many more brownie tarts will i make before i get the perfect one? BY YASMINE IDRISS

Use some homemade flakey short crust pastry dough (posted one in the previous reel) or buy a ready made one- no one needs to know. Bake it earlier in the day, then just preheat it in a hot oven right before serving.

Continue ReadingTo fill the genoise, I used a stabilized whipped cream which i make with 250grs mascarpone, about 300ml of heavy cream and a touch of pure vanilla extract. When I attended the workshop of chef @claire.heitzler organized by @thecreamlab.me, she gave us a tip: whip the cream on low to medium speed and then increase it gradually.

And waw, what a session! We made a tart with sablé breton as a base, a filling made of the silkiest, creamiest crème diplomat (made with French dairy of course), a berries and elderflower gelée and topped with fresh berries, edible flowers and lemon basil. Now imagine that the sablé breton is made using 95grs of pure French dairy butter per 125grs of flour! Can you imagine the scent? The flavor? I cant help…
