Peach & Basil Tartlet

I wanted peach to remain at the centre of the experience, present and recognisable, without being overwhelmed by other components.

Chocolate pâte sucrée brings a crisp texture and a subtle bitterness, followed by a smooth Bourbon vanilla crème pâtissière. At the heart, a peach and basil compote reinforces the fruit while introducing a fresh aromatic note. Fresh peach completes the tartlet and keeps the flavour bright and natural.

The intention was not complexity for its own sake, but to build around one ingredient and let everything else support it.
