Whipped cream pie
28 February 2022
Prep time : 40 minutes + 15 minutes cooking + rest
For a 20cm tart :
Cocoa & hazelnut crust :
60g butter
90g powdered sugar
30g hazelnut powder
1 egg
155g flour
50g cornstarch
15g cocoa powder
Mix the butter with the powdered sugar and the hazelnut powder.
When the mixture is homogeneous, add the egg and then the flour and cornstarch.
Divide the dough into two equal pieces, then add the cocoa to one of the two doughs.
Mix quickly to get a homogeneous ball, then wrap the dough and put it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Next, divide each dough into small pieces and roll them out to a thickness of 2 to 3mm, so as to have a two-tone dough, and put it in your circle. To get that irregular effect of the dough, I first cut out the circle of the base of the pie, then a 2cm wide strip that I re-cut with a knife, creating the irregularities on one side. Finally, I added this strip around the edge of the pie.
Place your dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, ideally at least 6 hours or overnight.
Bake in the preheated oven at 170°C for 15 to 20 minutes, then let cool completely.
Praliné croustillant :
60g praliné
30g 40% cocoa milk chocolate
45g crêpes dentelles
Melt the chocolate, then add the praline and crumbled crêpes dentelles.
Spread the croustillant on the pie crust.
Vanilla whipped cream :
250g full cream
55g powdered sugar
Vanilla powder to taste
Whip the cream until it becomes a whipped cream, then add the powdered sugar and vanilla.
Pipe or spread the whipped cream on the pie (I used a Saint Honoré tip), and enjoy!
