Chef's Tips

  • Make the honey ganache and tart dough the day before so the flavours develop and set properly.

  • Keep the lime gel just warm and fluid when pouring so it settles smoothly.

  • Freeze the piped ganache flowers very firm before spraying so they hold their shape.

  • Use unwaxed citrus fruits since whole lemons are used for the paste.

Main Components

Main Components

The tart includes:

  • honey mascarpone ganache
  • almond and lemon cream
  • lime herb gel
  • lemon paste
  • chocolate-sprayed ganache decoration
Herbal Citrus Notes

Herbal Citrus Notes

The lime gel uses sage, mint, tarragon, and marigold petals for a herbal citrus component. Nasturtium flowers add a peppery note when used as garnish.

Make-Ahead Notes

Make-Ahead Notes

Several parts can be prepared in advance. The ganache benefits from resting overnight, and the tart can be frozen before the final garnish is added.

Serving Notes

Serving Notes

Defrost the tart in the refrigerator before serving so the ganache and tart layers soften evenly. Add the fresh flowers shortly before serving.

    Beautiful floral finish. I used regular honey and it still worked great.
