Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 40 min.
Prepare the sablé base with 0 kg 12 g Breton sablé biscuit dough, as explained here.
Leave to cool, then use a brush to coat the top with 1.8 oz white chocolate, melted over a bain-marie. Leave to set.
This coating stops the crémeux topping soaking into the sablé base, helping it to stay crisp.

Remarks
This trio of sablé-crémeux-fruit works very well and lends itself to many variations. Another great topping duo is lime with strawberries, or why not try lemon with raspberries?
