When I think of a holiday dessert, I automatically think of the Tropezienne tart ! It's a pastry that I only eat during the holidays ! For this version, I wanted to add a little more originality by combining the Tropzienne tart vanilla cream with a seasonal fruit: nectarine !
My Tropezienne tart is therefore made up of an extremely soft brioche dough lightly soaked in vanilla syrup, topped with my famous vanilla toquee cream, peach confit and pieces of fresh nectarines : a delight !
This recipe is quite easy to make. All you have to do is plan for two days. The brioche dough is made the day before so that it can rise overnight in the fridge. It is also best to make the confit the day before. For the vanilla cream, I opted for my famous toque cream rather than a diplomate cream, but both work very well !
The brioche is eaten the same day but it can however be stored until the next day without problem. Either way, I hope you enjoy this recipe. Do not hesitate to give me your feedback.
