Lime Mousse and Apple Tartlet — Tartelette à la mousse au citron vert et aux pommes
I’ve just come for a few minutes in-between projects to tell you something. After experimenting with flours again, white rice with quinoa and cornstarch combined this time, I’ve created an amazingly good sweet crust — gluten-free. I am so excited that I had to stop by and tell someone else — you — beside P. who gets to know everything anyway! I feel like a scientist who has just discovered something totally incredible!
And while I have lime mousse leftover from another baking project, and lovely Pink Lady apples, I thought “Et pourquoi pas des tartelettes à la mousse au citron vert” ?
Why not lime mousse tartlets?
I know what we are having for dessert tonight!

Une fois de plus, je rêve autant devant la photo que devant ta tartelette. La photo est presque irréelle et pourtant la tarte est tellement engageante.

Stunning, as always! I’ve never considered serving a mousse inside tart shells, but it seems like a great idea that also means less washing up after serving!

Looks fabulous! At first I didn’t think lime and apple sounded like a good combination but the picture and proportions gave me a new perspective.

Comment by YOYO Cooking — On February, 9th, 2008 at 9:25 am
holy crap. sometimes i look at your pictures and think, maybe i just need a better camera. sometimes i think, this is really inspiring. and sometimes i think it’s time to give up, because the gorgeousness of your photos cannot be topped.
this looks beautiful, and i’m a total sucker for fruit mousses. yum!

Wow, this one floored me! The flavor combination sounds intense (in a good way), and that crust…wow!

Thanks everyone, once again. Merci beaucoup à tous pour vos commentaires.
I will post the recipe in a few days, hopefully, when I get a chance. A few answers, to cut the apple that thin, I use a mandoline. And the mousse is actually quite light, made with egg whites and mascarpone cheese.
Merci!

HOW DO YOU PREPARE THE APPLES, HOW DO THEY KEEP THE COLOR, ARE THEY COOKED?
Comment by Jasmine — On November, 11th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
Jasmine, the apples are poached in syrup. So hardly cooked at all, staying crunchy.
Comment by Béa — On November, 12th, 2008 at 9:48 am
Bonjour Béa,
pourrais-tu m’envoyer la recette de cette fabuleuse tartelette à la mousse au citron et pomme? Merci beaucoup.
Pour ta pate brisée, tu gardes la même recette pour les tartes sucrées et les tartes salées?
merci pour les renseignements
Comment by graziella — On August, 11th, 2009 at 6:59 pm
Graziella,
J’essaierai de la publier prochainement. Pour ce qui est de la pâte, cela dépend des tartes. Je varie et n’utilise pas toujours les mêmes. Ici, j’ai utilisé une pâte brisée sucrée.
