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.

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.

Stage 6 - 5 min.
For a more attractive finish, glaze the top, using a brush, then remove the dessert ring.
Stage 7 - 1 min.
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.
