Normally, in bakeries you can often find a traditional round tart with pastry cream and fresh strawberries<\/em> cut in half and arranged in circle.<\/p>\n

Well, after preparing I-don’t-know-how-many traditional tarts for my exam<\/em>, I got fed up<\/strong> and decided to try something new.<\/strong> When looking for inspiration, the world champion Christophe Michalak<\/strong> never disappoints me<\/strong>, so I became eager to make his Strawberry and pistachio tart<\/strong> as soon as I discovered it.<\/p>\n

The recipe comes from his TV show<\/strong> and required quite some time as the tart is made of several layers<\/strong>, very nicely summarised by my illustration<\/strong> below… \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

In particular, for the first time I made my own pistachio paste<\/a> <\/strong>for the whipped pistachio ganache.<\/p>\n

The final result was very rewarding<\/strong> and I think it’s the best-looking tart I’ve ever seen!<\/strong> \ud83d\ude1b (not taking any credit, I didn’t invent it unfortunately<\/em>)<\/p>\n

I like this strawberry and pistachio tart because it is very original<\/strong>: first of all, it is square<\/strong>! Then the dough has a slightly salty<\/strong> after-taste which goes perfectly with the tartness of strawberries and the sweetness of the ganache.<\/p>\n

Believe me: it’s not difficult to make, it just takes some time<\/strong>, but it’s definitely worth it<\/strong>!!!<\/p>\n
