Remarks
If you don't have a tart ring for step 3, use a conventional mold, and place in the oven without a baking sheet.
You can mix the fruits together, with a tablespoon of sugar, and perhaps another of an alcohol of your choice (plum, brandy,...) as soon as they are cut, for a more pronounced taste after cooking.
The tart can of course be made with other summer fruits, peaches, pears, etc.

Almond tuiles
These delicious little biscuits ("tiles" in French) get their crunch and lightness from the use of flaked almonds rather than ground. It is not difficult to succeed, you just need to work fast after taking them out of the oven.August 21th 2019386 K4 1 hour 20 min.
Crème brulée
Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top. The perfect crème brulée (for me) is a cold and soft cream, with on top a nice hot caramel crust. This is a completely new version...December 31th 20111.67 M 74.3 4 hours 40 min.

Passion fruit jellies
Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour.
