Recipe Step by Step

Step01

DULCEY 35% WHIPPED GANACHE

250g Whole milk

8g Potato starch

3g Powdered gelatin

15g Water (for rehydrating the gelatin)

185g DULCEY 35% chocolate (or 175g IVOIRE 35% chocolate)

150g Whipping cream

Preparation time: 20 minutes

Refrigerate for: 12 hours

Mix a third of the cold milk with the potato starch, then set aside.

Heat the remaining milk to 185/195°F (85/90°C).

Pour a third of the hot milk into the milk and starch mixture and stir them together.

Return to the pan and bring to a boil.

Take the pan off the heat and add the bloomed gelatin.

Gradually pour the mixture onto the partially melted DULCEY 35% chocolate, emulsifying them with a spatula as you do so.

Add the chilled cream.

Blend with an immersion blender to perfect the emulsion.

Leave to set in the refrigerator, ideally for 12 hours at 40°F (4°C).

Beat it until it has a texture thick enough to use in a piping bag.

Step02

SHORTBREAD CRUST WITH WALNUTS & HAZELNUTS

240g Butter

470g All-purpose flour

180g Confectioners’ sugar

30g Walnut flour

30g Hazelnut flour

40g Chopped walnuts

4g Fine salt

4g Powdered vanilla

100g Eggs

Preparation time: 20 minutes

Refrigerate for: 30 minutes

Freeze for: 15 minutes

Bake for: 35 minutes

Mix together the walnut flour, hazelnut flour, confectioners’ sugar, salt, powdered vanilla, and all-purpose flour.

Sift them all together, then add the cold cubed butter.

Mix until fine, sandy crumbs have formed.

Add the eggs to the mixture.

Stop mixing once the dough is smooth and even.

Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3mm, then refrigerate it for 30 minutes.

Use some rings to help you cut the dough into cases for four 13cm tarts and place them in the freezer for 15 minutes.

Blind bake the tart shells at 320°F (160°C) for 10 minutes (in a fan-assisted oven).

Turn the baking pans around halfway through the cooking time so the cases bake more evenly.

Pipe 50g of spicy walnut and hazelnut cream straight into each tart shell and add 10g of chopped walnuts.

Continue baking for 25 minutes.

Step03

SPICY WALNUT AND HAZELNUT CREAM

220g Creamed butter

220g Confectioners’ sugar

110g Hazelnut flour

110g Walnut flour

22g Potato starch

3g Gingerbread spice mix

3g Powdered vanilla

121g Eggs

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Mix the creamed butter, confectioners’ sugar, starch, hazelnut flour, walnut flour, powdered vanilla, and gingerbread spice mix.

Gradually add the room-temperature eggs to the mixture.

Pipe the cream straight into the tart shells before baking.

Step04

HOMEMADE ORANGE PURÉE

230g Organic oranges

23g Sugar

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Refrigerate for: 30 minutes

Wash the oranges under running water.

Use a knife to peel the oranges, removing the zest and rind.

Set them aside to make the candied orange slices.

Cut the oranges into segments and bring them to a boil in a saucepan with the sugar.

Blend the mixture using an immersion blender to make a purée.

Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step05

ORANGE CONFIT

230g Homemade orange purée

3g Pectin NH

25g Sugar

10g Lime juice

0.5g Timut pepper

NOROHY vanilla bean

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Refrigerate for: 30 minutes

Heat the homemade orange purée to 105°F (40°C).

Add the pectin combined with the sugar.

Bring it to a boil and add the lime juice, timut pepper and NOROHY vanilla bean.

Pour 70g of orange confit into the tart shells baked with the cream.

Chill for 30 minutes.

Step06

CANDIED ORANGE SLICES

150g Orange slices

250g Sugar

250g Water

Preparation time: 20 minutes

Refrigerate for: 1 hour

Bake for: 1 hour 30 minutes

Immerse the orange slices in the cold water.

Blanch them so that the rind loses its bitterness by bringing the water to a boil.

Rinse them in cold water. Repeat 3 times.

Pour the sugar, water, and orange slices into a saucepan.

Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour 30 minutes.

Leave the syrup in the refrigerator for 1 hour, then set it aside in a jar.
