Passion Meringue Tarts
Made with Cooking Range Inspiration Passionfruit
Makes 12 pieces.
Using the Silikomart 146mm oblong 6 tartlet silicone mold.
An original l'Ecole Gourmet Valrhona recipe.
TOP TIP: once the JIVARA 40% light mousses have been removed from the molds, cover them in clear glaze before placing them on the PASSION FRUIT INSPIRATION crémeux. This gives them an extra shiny finish and perfect presentation.

Assembly and finishing
After the tart shells have baked and cooled, make the PASSION FRUIT INSPIRATION crémeux so that you can pour it straight in, filling them up to the top. Freeze. Then, remove the JIVARA 40% light mousses from the molds and place on top of the frozen Passion Fruit Inspiration crémeux.
Make the Italian meringue. Cut the tip of a piping bag at an angle. Without using a nozzle, unevenly pipe the Italian meringue. Brown the meringue with a small blowtorch.
Store in the refrigerator for 4 hours before serving.
