Assembly and finishing
Make the brioche dough and leave to rest in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
Make the plant-based corn shortcrust pastry, spread it to a thickness of 2mm between 2 sheets of paper and leave it to rest in the refrigerator.
Place the mixture between 2 sheets of parchment paper, roll it out to a thickness of 2mm. Use a round 8cm cutter to cut up the sheets of biscuit
crisp and leave them in the freezer.
Make the blueberry mixed fruit paste and leave to sit at 60-65°F (16-18°C).
Finish by making the soft Opalys & vanilla ganache and leave to set at room temperature.
Cut out 2 × 23.5cm pastry strips.
Line the edges and base of the greased tartlet rings.
Blind-bake the tartlet cases on trays covered with perforated mats for 13 minutes at 320°F (160°C). Leave them to cool, then turn them out.
Use a brush to apply a fine layer of egg yolk onto the tartlets, and put them back in the oven for 6 minutes at 320°F (160°C).
This will give the tartlets an attractive golden-brown color while also protecting them from moisture.
Leave to cool.
Use a piping bag to pipe approx. 10-12g of smooth blueberry fruit paste into each tartlet.
Cut the brioche dough into 35g pieces and roll each one into a ball.
Put a ball of brioche into each garnished tartlet.
Proof for approx. 1½ hours at 80°F (28°C).
Put a biscuit crisp disk into each tartlet just before baking.
Bake for 8-10 minutes at 300°F (150°C).
Leave to cool.
Finishing
Use a small fluted nozzle to make a hole in the middle of each tartlet.
Use a piping bag with a plain round 5mm nozzle to fill the middle of each tartlet with approx.15-20g of soft Opalys and vanilla ganache.
Finish off by piping a sphere of ganache onto the opening and decorate it with a fresh blueberry.
