Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 50 g Flour
  • 50 g Butter
  • 80 g Sugar
  • 1/2 Vanilla pod
  • 100 ml Milk
  • 100 ml Cream
  • 5 g Cornstarch
  • 2 Eggs
  • 50 g flaked almonds
  • 800 g Summer fruits (e.g. peaches and apricots and nectarines and strawberries and raspberries and blueberries)

Directions

  1. 1

    Melt the butter. Separate eggs. Beat egg whites and 50 g sugar until frothy. Fold in flour and butter. Put them in a cold place.

  2. 2

    Halve the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the pulp. Heat milk, vanilla pulp and cream. Stir egg yolks and rest of sugar for about 2 minutes. Add starch and vanilla cream while stirring. Let cool down.

  3. 3

    Form 1 circle from 1 tablespoon of dough with a spoon on baking paper. Do the same with the rest of the dough. Sprinkle almond flakes on top and bake the slices of dough in a preheated oven (180 °C) for about 8 minutes until the edges are golden brown. As soon as the slices of dough are taken out of the oven, place the slices in trays so that they curve. Let them cool down.

  4. 4

    Peel peaches and remove stone. Stone apricots and nectarines as well. Clean the strawberries. Dice all fruits. Mix fruits and vanilla sauce and arrange in the dough nest. Serve fruit salad e.g. with a scoop of fruit sorbet.
