175 g Flour
40 g crushed almonds
100 g Butter
5 TABLESPOONS fine raw sugar
1 Egg yolk (size M)
1 Organic Orange
200 g frozen cranberries
200 g white chocolate
300 g double cream
7-10 Tbsp Flour
7-10 Tbsp Fat and flour
baking paper
7-10 Tbsp Dried peas

Directions

1
Mix flour and almonds. Cut butter into cubes, add and quickly work into a crumbly dough with your fingertips. Add 2 tablespoons sugar, egg yolk and 1-2 tablespoons cold water. Quickly work into a smooth dough.
2
Roll out to a rectangle (approx. 15 x 39 cm) on a floured work surface. Grease a tart mould (12 x 36 cm) with lift-off base and dust with flour. Place the dough inside, press the edges firmly.
3
Cut off any excess dough. Chill the tart for about 30 minutes.
4
Line the tart with baking paper and fill with dried peas. Bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for approx. 10 minutes in a blind oven. Remove baking paper and dry peas.
5
Bake the tart for another 5 minutes. Let it cool down on a cake rack for about 10 minutes. Remove from the tin and let it cool down.
6
In the meantime, wash the orange hot, grate it dry and finely grate the peel. Halve the orange, squeeze the juice. Bring 3 tablespoons of sugar, cranberries, orange peel and juice to the boil in a saucepan and simmer over a low heat for about 5 minutes.
7
Remove from the heat and let it cool down. Roughly chop the chocolate and melt it over a warm water bath. Whip the double cream with the whisk of the hand mixer until stiff. Fold into the chocolate. Drain the cranberries and let them drain.
8
Spread half the cranberries on the tart base. Spread the cream over it and smooth it down. Spread the rest of the cranberries on the cream. Arrange on a cake plate.
