30g Finely ground almonds
50g Egg
210g Strong flour or wholemeal flour
25g COCOA POWDER

Use the sugar to make a dry caramel.
Deglaze with the salted butter and gradually combine the hot cream. Bring back to a boil, checking that all the sugar has melted.

Once they have been baked, set aside the tart cases for the time being.
Pour 50g of nutty MILLOT 74%/GUANAJA 70% chocolate caramel into each tart as soon as you have made it.
Leave to sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Once it has rested for 3 hours in the refrigerator, whisk the MILLOT 74%/GUANAJA 70% chocolate ganache until it has a very light mousse texture.
Pipe the whipped ganache into each tartlet using a piping bag and nozzle. Enjoy.
