EXOTIC TART
for 2 tarts d=18 cm
GELATINE MASS
1 Pour the powdered gelatine into a clean container and add cold water. Gently stir with the whisk.
2 Put the mixture in the fridge for 10-15 minutes for the gelatine to swell and bloom.
3 Then take the mass out of the fridge and melt it. Remove the foam that might have formed with
a sieve if necessary.
4 Put the mass back into the fridge so that it sets completely. Then cut it into cubes with scissors
for more convenient weighing and work. The ratio of gelatine and water is always 1:6. We take
one part of gelatine and 6 parts of water.
5 You may make the gelatine mass in advance and store it in the fridge for 2 days.
TIP
If you use the gelatine leaves, take the same amount of them as the gelatine in grams and soak them in cold water. The
gelatine leaves will absorb the right amount of water they need. Then squeeze them out and use them as it is said.
1 Pour the coconut puree in a saucepan. Add the glucose syrup and gelatine mass and start to
warm it up to 60 °C / 140 °F. Do not boil the puree so as not to lose the coconut flavor.
2 Remove this mixture off the heat, pour over the chocolate and emulsify with a hand blender to
obtain a shiny, smooth and completely liquid mixture.
3 Add the cold whipping cream and mix with a spatula just to combine all the ingredients.
4 Pour the ganache into a separate bowl, cover it with plastic wrap touching the surface and put in
the fridge for 12 hours, better overnight.

VIENNESE SHORTBREAD
4 Then add the sifted flour and the cornstarch and mix well with a spatula.
5 Transfer the dough to a piping bag with a round tip d=14 mm.
6 Using a stencil with 2 drawn circles, pipe petals to create the borders of the tart. Pipe the petals
close to each other so they stick well and don’t fall apart after baking.
7 Then pipe a line of the shortbread along the petals inside the tart shell for better stability of the
shortbread base.
8 Bake the tart at 150 °C / 302 °F for 10-15 minutes to a golden color.
10 Mix the egg yolks and the whipping cream and apply the egg wash mixture on the shortbread.
You can do it either using a spray gun or a soft pastry brush.
11 Put the tarts back in the oven at 150 °C / 302 °F for another 5 minutes.
ALMOND SPONGE
1 Put the marzipan, eggs and sea salt in the food processor and process at low speed first, and
then increase the speed gradually to create a very smooth and homogenous texture.
2 Then add oil and cornstarch and mix them at medium speed just until combined.
3 Meanwhile, put the egg whites and the sugar all at once in a mixer bowl with a whisk attachment
and start whipping at low speed first, increasing the speed gradually, to medium stiff peaks.
4 Transfer the mixture from the food processor into a clean mixing bowl and start folding the
meringue gradually, in 2 additions, using a spatula.
5 Spread the batter evenly in the silicone baking frame 35x35 cm and h=1 cm using a large offset
spatula.

serve ice cream” texture.
5 Using a round tip d=18 mm, pipe domes of whipped ganache around the sponge.
7 Mix the mango and passionfruit confit with a spatula and transfer it to the piping bag. Pipe it in
the centre of the tart, on top of the whipped ganache layer.
9 Pipe the domes with the rest of the whipped ganache on top of the confit.
