Step by step recipe


Stage 1
Little apple and verbena tarts
Prepare 6 tart cases.

Note: the ones you can see in the photo were made in fluted moulds, but this is not essential.

Stage 2 - 8 min.
Little apple and verbena tarts
Peel 2 apples and cut into small dice.

Stage 3 - 2 min.
Little apple and verbena tarts
Melt 30 g butter in a frying pan on high heat, then add 50 g caster sugar and the diced apples.

Stage 4 - 5 min.
Little apple and verbena tarts
Caramelise the apples, taking care not to mash the apple dice as you stir, which can easily happen with this size.

Leave to cool.

Stage 5 - 30 min.
Little apple and verbena tarts
Prepare 200 g Diplomat cream, leaving the verbena to infuse in the milk (this can be made well in advance).

Stage 6 - 6 min.
Little apple and verbena tarts
Put a generous layer of verbena diplomat cream in each tart case.

Stage 7 - 8 min.
Little apple and verbena tarts
Cover with diced caramelised apple.

Stage 8
Little apple and verbena tarts
Your tarts are ready. Garnish with a sprig of verbena.
Remarks
You can make a different version with pears. Cooked in maple syrup, they work really well.

If you don't fancy making the diplomat cream, use confectioner's custard or chantilly cream instead.
Keeping
Should be eaten the same day.

Crème brulée
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...

Tiramisu
Tiramisu
Classic italian recipe (the name means "pull me up" or more poetically, "take me up to the sky"). It's similar to a charlotte in its structure: layers of flavoured biscuits between layers of smooth cream.

European glass
A little dessert that's rather long to make, but which will always impress your guests. Layered in a glass: a jellied red fruit coulis, a layer of pineapple charlotte cream, a layer of kiwi coulis, topped with a peeled clementine segment. It's "european" because it resembles the italian flag, and in...
