Lime Mousse and Apple Tartlet -- Tartelette à la mousse au citron vert et aux pommes

February 7, 2008

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!

Incredible again! The apple on top is awesome and with lime . . . must be fantastic.

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

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! -- Us vs. Food

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.

Your photo says it all Bea! Beautiful:)
Ellie · February 8, 2008
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!

Béa · February 9, 2008
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!
Aran · February 7, 2008

I would love to try this recipie. My mom is allergic to wheat and is missing her sweets. It would be so nice to surprise her with this beautiful treat! Thanks in advance!!!
Jasmine · November 11, 2008
HOW DO YOU PREPARE THE APPLES, HOW DO THEY KEEP THE COLOR, ARE THEY COOKED?
Béa · November 12, 2008
Jasmine, the apples are poached in syrup. So hardly cooked at all, staying crunchy.
graziella · August 11, 2009
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
Béa · August 18, 2009
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.
Béa · April 7, 2010
Merci Siw. Cette recette n'a en fait pas encore été publiée! Désolée!
Siw · April 7, 2010
Bonjour Graziella, J aurais bien voulu la recette de cette tartellete mais je ne la trouve pas, est ce normal? ou est ce moi qui n'est pas bien cherché? J'ai découvert ton site par le biais du reportage d'envoyer special la suite est j'avoue que tes recettes et tes fotos sont très appétissante. Je te souhaite une bonne continuation et bon courage pour ton livre
