The recipe,
step by step

  1. 1

    Shortbread pastry

    Combine the butter with all the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs then add the eggs. Refrigerate. Roll the dough out to a thickness of 2 mm then line the ring moulds. Leave the tart bases to rest.

  2. 2

    Soft peach and mint

    Soften the butter. Add the icing sugar, ground almonds, flour, and eggs, a little at a time, then the warm mint infused cream. Pipe 100 g into each tart base and add diced peach (65 g). Bake at 150°C (302°F) for 30 mn on a Silpain®.

  3. 3

    Peach jelly

    Dissolve the gelatine in water. Melt the peach purée and the starch. Boil.
    Add the hydrated gelatin and the peach purée. Pour into Silikomart® moulds,
    ref. SF150. Position the redcurrants on top without pushing them in. Freeze.
    Remove from the mould and spray with redcurrant glaze.

  4. 4

    Redcurrant glaze

    Heat all the ingredients together and strain through a china cap sieve before spraying onto the peach jelly. 

  5. 5

    Sublime Cream with mint

    Infuse the mint in the cream overnight then strain through a china cap sieve. Whip the cream and fold into the pastry cream at approximately 20°C (68°F). Add a drop of green food colouring to give it a light green colour. 

  6. 6

    Assembly

    Pipe the cream with mint onto the shortbread pastry. Position the sprayed disc of jelly in the centre and, using a decorative nozzle (petals), decorate around it with the same cream.

    Decorate with a few herbs and fresh redcurrants.

    Chef's tip

    If you don’t have any dome shaped moulds, you can pour the jelly flat into ring moulds which have been covered in cling film.
