Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - ⌛ 40 min.
Prepare the sablé base with 350 g breton sablé biscuit dough, as explained here.
Leave to cool, then use a brush to coat the top with 50 g 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.
