  • Preheat the oven at 300°F (150°C).
  • First mix the creamed butter, fine salt, confectioner’s sugar, almond flour, eggs and 120g of flour. 
  • Be careful not to overwork this mixture. 
  • Once the mixture is smooth, add the remaining 350g flour without mixing too much. 
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and leave to stiffen in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours. 
  • Spread the dough using a rolling pin to a thickness of 2-3mm. 
  • Line a buttered, 24cm-long oblong tart mold. 
  • Blind-bake the pricked tart base in the mold lined with parchment paper at 300°F (150°C) for about 20 minutes, until the pastry is a light brown color.

  • Boil the cream, honey, and glucose syrup mixture in a saucepan. 
  • Slowly pour the boiling mixture in 3 batches over the Jivara 40% milk chocolate, mixing in the center to create an elastic, shiny texture, the sign that an emulsion is beginning to form. 
  • Maintain this texture throughout the mixing process. 
  • Continue adding the liquid gradually, then add the scraped Norohy vanilla bean
  • Mix one final time, then set aside. 
  • Combine the ganache base with the cold cream.
