Ingredients - Tart:

  • 125g Flour
  • 25g Ground Almonds
  • 50g Powdered Sugar
  • 75g Cold Butter
  • 1 tsp Raw Licorice Powder
  • A pinch of Salt
  • ½ Egg

Ingredients - Frangipane:

  • 50g Ground Almonds
  • 50g Sugar
  • 50g Soft Butter
  • 1 Egg
  • ½ tsp Raw Licorice Powder
  • A pinch of Salt

Ingredients - Ganache:

  • 100g High-quality White Chocolate
  • 50g Fresh Strawberries
  • 10g White Sugar
  • 10g Lemon Juice

Method - Tart:

  1. In a food processor, combine flour, ground almonds, powdered sugar, butter, licorice powder, and salt. Mix quickly until everything is well incorporated. Add the egg to bind the dough together.
  2. Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and let it chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  3. Once chilled, press the dough into small, rectangular tart pans (14 x 3½ cm) and prick the bottoms with a fork. Place the tart pans back in the fridge while you prepare the frangipane.

Method - Frangipane:

  1. In a bowl, whisk together ground almonds, sugar, butter, egg, licorice powder, and salt until light and fluffy.
  2. Fill each tart shell halfway with the frangipane mixture and place 6-8 blackcurrants into each tart.
  3. Bake at 175°C (350°F) for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let the tartlets cool completely.

Method - Ganache:

  1. Melt the white chocolate over a double boiler, then remove from heat.
  2. In a small saucepan, bring the blackcurrant puree, glucose syrup, and lemon juice to a boil. Gradually pour the mixture into the melted chocolate while stirring with a rubber spatula.
  3. Continue stirring until the ganache comes together. Use an immersion blender to smooth the mixture.
  4. Pour a thin layer of ganache over each tart and allow them to chill in the fridge until set.

Finish with fresh strawberries and a sprinkle of your favorite granola for a perfect crunchy touch. Enjoy the sweet and indulgent flavor of these unique tartlets!
