Instructions
Lemon short crust pastry by Michalak
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, sift all the flours, icing sugar, potatoes starch and salt.
- Add butter, lemon zest and mix to combine.
- Add the whole egg and mix just the time to have a combined mixture.
- Flatten the dough into a disc and refrigerate for a couple of hours.
Almond filling
- In a small bowl, soften the butter with a small whisk or with a fork.
- Then add sugar and orange zest.
- Add almond flour and mix to combine.
- Then, add whole egg, the flour and mix until well incorporated.
To line the pastry ring
- Brush the interior of your ring with butter (7.5 inches - 19 cm.) and place on a baking tray with baking paper (I used micro perforated round tart ring, micro perforated tray and Silpat non-stick mat).
- Roll the dough gently until you have an even 3mm thickness
- Gently ease the dough into the sides of the ring, use your fingertips to press the pastry into the edges and up the wall of the tin.
- Using the knife, remove the overhanging pastry.
- Prick the base with a fork and refrigerate for 2 hours
To bake
- Heat fan oven to 320 F - 160°C.
- Bake the tart shell for 20 minutes and let cool a few minutes.
- Pour the almond filling in a pastry bag and fill the shell half full, smooth the top and bake for 20 minutes.
- Let completely coo
Lemon Namelaka
- Soak gelatin sheets in cold water.
- Melt the chocolate.
- Heat the milk until 160F - 70°C, add wringed gelatin sheets and stir to melt.
- Pour the hot mixture over the chocolate in 3 batches and mix well after each addiction.
- Add cold heavy cream and blend with a hand blender.
- Then, add fresh sifted lemon juice.
- Mix quickly to combine as the mixture will tick very fast.
- Pour the lemon namelaka over the almond filling and set aside (or freeze)
Orange jelly
- Wrap in cling film a 5.5 inches - 14 cm pastry ring and set aside.
- Soak gelatin sheets in cold water.
- Heat an amount of fresh sifted orange juice, add sugar and dextrose and stir to melt.
- Add wringed gelatin sheets and stir to melt.
- Add the remaining orange juice and mix to combine.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared ring, refrigerate then freeze.
Pistachio bavarois
- Prepare the crème anglaise.
- Soak gelatin sheets in cold water.
- Bring the milk to a boil.
- In a bowl, combine the egg yolks with sugar until you get a smooth mixture.
- Pour the boiling milk over yolks/sugar mixture, sift, and cook stirring constantly until the mixture reaches 180F - 82°C.
- Remove from the heat and pour into a frozen bowl.
- Add pistachio paste and blend with a hand blender.
- Add wringed gelatin sheets and stir to melt.
- When the mixture reaches 80F - 25°C, gently add whipped cream, in 2 or 3 batches.
- Pour some pistachio bavarois into the mould, freeze for a few minutes, then add the orange jelly and press a little.
- Pour the remaining bavarois 1 cm from the edge of the mould and freeze.
- I used the mould called “Twister”, by Pavoni, but you can use a 6 inches-16 cm pastry ring.
To assemble and serve
- Remove the bavarois from the mould and spray with green cocoa butter.
- So, lay the bavarois over the lemon namelaka, garnish with chopped pistachios and refrigerate for 4 hours (if you had frozen all the tart, refrigerate for 8 hours to serv
