Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 40 min.
Breton strawberry and verbena tart : Stage 1
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.
Stage 2 - ⌛ 3 min.

Sit the sablé base on a sheet of cooking parchment, laid on a baking sheet, and place a dessert ring over it.
Stage 3 - ⌛ 40 min.
Breton strawberry and verbena tart : Stage 3
Prepare a verbena crémeux, follwing the method for fruit crémeux, but replace the coulis with verbena-infused cream (heat the cream, then leave the verbena to infuse).

Pour on top of the sablé base.

Leave to set in the fridge for about an hour.
Stage 4 - ⌛ 3 min.

When the crémeux is set, sit the tart (still in its dessert ring) on its serving plate.
Stage 5 - ⌛ 15 min.
Breton strawberry and verbena tart : Stage 5
Arrange a layer of fresh strawberries on top. Use small ones if possible that do not need to be cut.
Stage 6 - ⌛ 5 min.

For a more attractive finish, glaze the top, using a brush, then remove the dessert ring.
Stage 7 - ⌛ 1 min.
Breton strawberry and verbena tart : Stage 7
Decorate with a sprig of verbena.

Refrigerate before serving.
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?
Keeping: A day or two in the fridge, covered with plastic film.

Used very frequently in French cuisine, a secret of French chefs, it adds flavour to a lot of recipes, and it's easy to prepare.
