1 Vanilla bean

Gradually add the water and mix by hand until a homogeneous dough forms.
Place the dough between two sheets of baking paper and spread to a thickness of 2.5mm.
Cut out tart bases using the SILKOMART templates to help you, as well as the strips to line the tin.
Freeze for 4 hours.

Warm up the almond milk then add the sugar and the cornflour that you have already mixed together.
Heat to at least 95°C, strain and mix using a hand blender.
Pour onto the NYANGBO 68% Ground Chocolate while stirring with a spatula.

Assembly and finishing

Make the tart bases and bake in a fan-assisted oven at 160°C for 16 minutes.
Once the tarts have cooled back down, place around 50g caramelised hazelnuts and 50g caramelised almonds at the bottom of the dish.
Pour 50g of NYANGBO 68% chocolate crémeux over the caramelised nuts then freeze overnight.
Cover with a plastic wrap and store the remaining crémeux in the refrigerator to finish.
The following day, pipe an even layer of the crémeux over the tarts using a 20 Saint Honoré nozzle.
Decorate with a few caramelised nuts and chocolate pieces.
Store in the refrigerator for 4 hours before serving.
