GELATIN MASS

Ingredients Total weight: ~ 28 g 100%

Powdered gelatin 200 Bloom 4g 14%

Cold water 24 g 86%

1 Pour the powdered gelatin into a clean container and add cold water. Gently stir with a whisk.

2 Place the mixture in the fridge for 10-15 minutes until the gelatin has bloomed.

3 Take the mass out of the fridge and allow it to melt. If there is any foam, remove it with a sieve.

4 Put the mass back into the fridge and wait until it has set completely. Then cut it into cubes using
scissors so it is more convenient to weigh out and work with. The ratio of gelatin to water should
always be 1:6 (one part gelatin and six parts water).

5 You can make the gelatin mass in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
TIP
If you are using gelatin leaves, use the same weight as for powdered gelatin and soak them in cold water. The gelatin
leaves will absorb the right amount of water needed. Then squeeze them and use as required.

VANILLA CHANTILLY CREAM

Ingrеdients Total weight: ~ 383 g 100%

Milk 3.2% 60 g 16%

Sugar 25 g 6%
Gelatin mass 28 g 7%

2 Pour the mixture into a measuring cup, add the mascarpone and gelatin mass. Process with a
hand blender until smooth.

3 Add cold whipping cream and use the hand blender to combine all of the ingredients.

4 Transfer the Chantilly cream to a clean bowl, cover it with cling film touching the surface and put

ALMOND SHORTCRUST PASTRY

Ingrеdients Total weight: ~ 462 g 100%

for 12 tartlets using a Mallard Ferrière 06492 mold

Flour 9-10.5% protein 200 g 43%

Butter 82% 110 g 24%
Icing sugar 80 g 17%
Almond powder 30 g 6%
Sea salt 2g <1%
Whole eggs 40 g 9%

1 First, prepare all the ingredients. Sift the flour, icing sugar and almond powder. Cut the chilled
butter into cubes.

2 Put the sifted flour, icing sugar, salt, almond powder and chilled, cubed butter into the mixer bowl.
Mix it at low speed using the paddle attachment until fine crumbs are formed.
TIP
Almond powder can be substituted for another type of nut powder, such as hazelnut, for example.

3 Once the butter has been completely mixed in and fine crumbs have formed, add the eggs. Mix
the dough until it has a homogeneous and elastic texture.

4 Roll the dough between two guitar or parchment paper sheets to a thickness of 3 mm.

5 Put the rolled out dough in the fridge at 3-4 °C / 37-39 °F for 12 hours.

FORMING AND BAKING THE SHORTCRUST CASES

Ingredients

Chilled shortcrust dough

1 After the shortcrust dough has been in the fridge for 12 hours, put it in the freezer and freeze it
slightly to make it easier to work with.

2 Then, using a tartlet-shaped template, cut out the tartlet bases. It is more convenient to work on
a board that has also been slightly frozen. The ideal temperature for working with shortcrust
pastry is 18-20 °C / 64-68 °F indoors.

3 Form the triangular tartlets with a rounded base using a Mallard Ferrière 06492 mold. When
forming the tartlets, it is important to remember that the bottom of the tartlet should be perfectly
even. The space between the shortcrust dough and the edge of the mold should be even and
uniform, without any rounding or gaps. The shortcrust dough on the sides and at the bottom
should meet at an angle of 90°.

2 Spray the mixture at a distance of 30-40 cm onto half-baked shortcrust cases. The egg wash can
also be applied with a soft pastry brush.

3 Transfer the coated tartlet cases onto a clean baking tray and bake them at 150 °C / 302 °F for
another 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown.

4 Let the baked tartlet cases cool down at room temperature.
