Pistachio & Raspberry

Presenting here a lovely tartelette featuring the traditional combo of raspberry and pistachio. You'll see that I've applied the same techniques from previous dessert creations, proving that once you master one, it's all about being creative and choosing different ingredients! Are you ready to elevate your dessert game? 😍

Required recipes

• Chocolate sable

• Neutral glazing

• Pistachio praline

• Raspberry ganache & gel

It's recommended to have at least the tart shell and the praline ready before starting with this recipe. Both of them can be prepared in advance (even more than 1 week before).

Equipment

• Tart ring. Here I'm using Silikomart tarte ring ⌀ 80 mm

• Round nozzle. Here I'm using ⌀ 14 mm

• Molds for the dome. Here I'm using Semisfera from Sikilomart, respectively ⌀ 2cm and ⌀ 3.5 cm.

Day 3

Assembly

1. Whip the pistachio ganache to medium peak and pour it into a piping bag with ⌀ 14 mm round nozzle.

2. Fill the tart with a layer of pistachio ganache, then proceed with raspberry ganache

3. Insert a wooden skewer into the outer part of the frozen raspberry dome and stick it gently into the melted neutral glazing. Use the border of the glazing container to remove the glazing excess from the bottom of the dome and place it gently at the center of the tart.

4. Pipe the whipped pistachio ganache all around the glazed dome.

5. Add a golden leave / flake on top of the dome (this is really optional) and decorate at your preference with pistachio
