55 min. | 3 hours | 25 min. | 4 hours 20 min. |
1 | Prepare 400 g Fruit crémeux, using a blackcurrant coulis. | |
2 | Pour the crémeux into moulds or dessert rings 3 inches (8 cm) in diameter. If you are using rings, sit these on a sheet of plastic film to help prevent leaks. | |
3 | Refrigerate for 1 hour to set, then remove the rings and put in the freezer for at least 2 hours. This will give you solid blackcurrant crémeux discs, which are very easy to handle. Note: This step of freezing is not essential, but it is a useful pâtissier's trick to make assembling the tarts a lot easier. | |
4 | Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C). Roll out 400 g Breton sablé biscuit dough fairly thinly (about an eighth of an inch / 0.3 cm) and cut out discs the same size as the blackcurrant crémeux. | |
5 | Place each disc inside a tart ring, sitting on a sheet of cooking parchment laid on a baking sheet. | |
6 | Bake for about 25 minutes. The sablés should still be slightly soft. Leave to cook on a wire rack. | |
7 | When cooled, put the sablé discs back onto the same baking sheet. | |
8 | Sit a disc of crémeux on each one. Now you will see why it helps to have them solid. | |
9 | Cut 6 Vines nectarines into quarters and remove the stone. | |
10 | Cut each quarter into slices... | |
11 | ...and arrange on top of the tarts. | |
12 | Decorate with a sprig of mint, verbena or lemon balm to a add a finishing touch of green. Your little tarts are ready. |
