- 470g All-purpose flour

Steps:
- 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.
2. Whole fruit raspberry compote
Ingredients:
- 500g Fresh raspberries
- 75g Sugar
Prep time: 30 min
Rest time: until the compote cools down
Steps:
- Slowly cook the fruit with the sugar for 30 minutes over medium heat, stirring regularly, and set aside in the refrigerator.
3. Milk chocolate and vanilla whipped ganache
Ingredients:
- 110g Heavy cream 36%

- 150g Jivara 40% milk chocolate

Steps:
- Roughly chop the Jivara 40% milk chocolate.
- 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.
- Allow to set in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, before whipping the mixture to obtain a thick enough texture for the ganache to be used in a piping bag.
