Instructions
Instructions cremy lemon and poppy seed tart
- Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, melt your white chocolate over water bath. Heat the milk almost to the boiling point, turn off the heat, wait a minute and add the squeezed gelatine. Mix well. Using the immersion blender, emulsify melted white chocolate while adding the hot milk in 3 times.
- Add the cold cream and blend again. Finally, add the juice (filtered through a strainer) and the lemon zest. Blend again until everything becomes smooth. Cover the container with plastic wrap and place the lemon namelaka in the refrigerator for a few hours until it becomes slightly thicker.
The base
- Place your butter cookies in a blender. I used petit biscuits but you can easily use your favorite cookies. If your cookies like mine are low in sugar, add more sugar to taste. Blend until it has a sand-like consistency. If you don't have a blender you can crumble them inside a bag using a rolling pin, the important thing is that they have a very fine consistency.
- Now add 100 g of melted butter and mix well. Line the bottom of a 22cm wide springform pan with a circle of paking paper. Pour over the prepared mix and level with great care. Press the base with some force and commitment to make it compact and uniform. Use the bottom of a glass or cup to press and distribute your cookies.
- If you prefer your base to be slightly more caramelized, bake it in the static oven at 180°C for 10 minutes, otherwise place it in the refrigerator and let it become firm.

The decoration
- When the cream is no longer completely liquid, add the poppy seeds and incorporate them with a spoon. Pour the semi-liquid cream into the crumbled cookie shell and place in the refrigerator until the cream thickens (I put it in the fridge for 8 hours).
- Whip more cream and add 1-2 tablespoons of powdered sugar towards the end. Use the piping bag to decorate your cake. Add pieces of lemon and white chocolate, a few cookies, mint leaves and some dried poppy seeds.
- Serve when needed.
