Blackberry and almond fondant tart
Balckberries and almonds go so well together: the slight tartness of the berries is the perfect foil for the sweeter almonds.
This combination makes for a delicious tart. The sweetcrust pastry case is filled with a blackberry jelly and an almond panna cotta, presented in a bold and unusual way as a change from the usual layers.

Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 1 hour
Roll out the pastry and line a 9-inch (22 cm) tin or mould, then bake blind.
Stage 2 - 5 min.
Protect the bottom of the tart with 150 g white chocolate, melted in a bain-marie, as explained here.
Stage 3 - 3 min.
Stand small rings or cutters in the pastry case after greasing the outsides using a pastry brush dipped in a little melted butter, for example (to make removing these easier in stage 13). Press the rings gently into the white chocolate layer.
These are the moulds that will contain the almond mixture and will be surrounded by the blackberry filling.
Put to wait in the fridge.

Stage 16
You tart is complete. Decorate with a sprig of mint or verbena and serve cool, but not too cold.
Remarks
It is not essential to coat the pastry case in stage 2, but if you do (which I heartily recommend), it helps the bottom of the tart stay crisp for longer.
Of course, there can be lots of different versions of this tart, based on the same idea. For example, you could use raspberries or blackcurrants instead of blackberries. It is good to keep some sharpness to the fruit to balance the almonds.
