Bring the milk to the boil with the scored vanilla pods. Infuse the pods for approx.

Heat the infused milk with the glucose. Add the rehydrated gelatin.

Mix the powdered ingredients with the very cold, cubed butter until it resembles crumbs.
As soon as the mixture is completely smooth, add the cold eggs. As soon as you obtain an even dough, stop mixing. Store in the refrigerator or spread out immediately. Bake at 300°F (150°C).

Assembly and finishing

Fabulously Flipped

Make the namelaka, whipped ganache, marinade, sorbet and sponge.
Make the shortcrust pastry and spread it out between two sheets of confectionery dipping paper to a thickness of 2.5mm before freezing.
Use an 11cm-diameter ring to help you shape your tart cases. Use a variety of cutters to make holes in the tart base.
Bake the tarts (and the pastry offcuts, which will go into your pressed pastry) at 320°F (160°C) for approx. 15 minutes.
Place a 10cm-diameter cutter on the plate and, using a piping bag with an 8mm nozzle, pipe out a 35g spiral of namelaka. Use a piping bag with a 10mm nozzle to pipe a 25g ring of whipped ganache around the edge of the namelaka spiral. Place a few pieces of pressed shortcrust pastry on the namelaka, then remove the cutter and cover up the spiral using the tart base (See photo). Place 15g of strawberry marinade on the plate, plus three pieces of sponge.
Finish off with a quenelle of strawberry sorbet and your own Customized Logo Decoration.
