Instructions

Vanilla Whipped Ganache:

  • Bloom the gelatin in water.
  • Gently simmer the heavy whipping cream, then pour it over the white chocolate chips along with the bloomed gelatin and vanilla extract.
  • Use a stick blender to achieve a smooth consistency. Ensure the head of the blender is fully submerged to avoid creating air bubbles.
  • Continue blending while gradually incorporating the cold heavy whipping cream.
  • Transfer the mixture to a container and cover it with plastic wrap, making sure the wrap touches the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
  • Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 6 hours.
  • Once set, whip the ganache until it reaches a stiff consistency.

Espresso Cream with Praline Center:

  • Spoon hazelnut praline (use store-bought praline or you can make my recipe) into four small molds and place in the freezer until solid.
  • Mix espresso powder into a portion of the vanilla whipped ganache to create an espresso ganache.
  • Pipe this espresso ganache halfway into four larger molds.
  • Once the praline centers are frozen, remove them from their molds and press one into the center of each espresso ganache-filled mold.
  • Use a spatula to smooth the ganache evenly over the praline.
  • Freeze the molds until the espresso cream is firm.

Pumpkin Spice Ganache:

  • Bloom  gelatin in water. Mix warm cream, white chocolate, gelatin, and  pumpkin spice until smooth. Use a stick blender to achieve the best consistency.
  • Stir in pumpkin puree, add few drops of  orange food coloring (optional) blend,
  • Cover with plastic and chill for 6 hours.

Pâte Sucrée:

  • Combine the all-purpose flour, almond powder, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl.
  • Add in the cold, diced butter and blend until the mixture reaches a sandy texture.
  • Whisk together the egg and vanilla, then gradually incorporate into the dry ingredients until well mixed.
  • Wrap the dough and chill it for 3 hours. After chilling, roll out the dough and place it into tart rings.
  • Bake at 170°C for 8-10 minutes.
  • Once cooled completely, remove the tart shells from the rings and brush them with egg yolk. Bake again until the surface is golden in color.

Espresso Financier:

  • Make brown butter by melting unsalted butter until golden brown.
  • Whisk with honey, espresso powder, vanilla, salt. Cool.
  • Whip egg whites, and gradually add sugar to soft peaks.
  • Fold in sifted flour and almond flour, into the mixture then and add the brown butter mixture.
  • Pour into small molds ( smaller than the tart rings). Optional: Add chopped nuts (walnut, hazelnut or both) on top of the batter.
  • Bake at 180°C for 12 mins, then 170°C for 5 mins.
  • Let them cool before removing from the molds.

Assembly:

  • Place financiers in the center of each tart shell.
  • Pipe pumpkin ganache around and on top until the tarts are filled.
  • Spray the frozen espresso ganache with praline center with white velvet spray and place this on the top center of the tar.
  • Fill the spaces with vanilla ganache, and lightly dust with espresso powder or pumpkin spice.
  • Serve and enjoy!
