Step by step recipe

Prepare the sablé base with 0 kg 3 g Breton sablé biscuit dough, as explained here.
Leave to cool, then use a brush to coat the top with ½ cup white chocolate, melted over a bain-marie. Leave to set.

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?
