Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 20 min.

Furnish tartlet circles with 300 g yeast-based flaky dough (for croissants), spread thinly (maximum 2 mm), following these tips.

Stage 2

We don't throw anything away, just gather up your dough scraps and use them as Viennese fermented dough another time.

Stage 3

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Fill each pastry base with a layer of almond cream, using a piping bag if possible.

Stage 4 - 6 min.

Do this for all your funds.

Stage 5 - 2 min.

You can sprinkle a little powdered sugar over the top of the bases, which is supposed to help them develop in the oven (the almond cream will swell during baking).

Stage 6 - 15 min.

Bake for 10-15 minutes.

Stage 7 - 30 min.

Leave to cool on a wire rack.

Stage 8 - 2 min.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar when cool.

Remarks

You can replace the almond cream with pistachio cream for a pistachio version.

Note that the proportions are very simple: you'll need 40g of dough and 40g of almond cream per mirliton.

Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, protected by cling film.

Passion fruit jellies

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
