Tartes are absolutely my thing and this here is special. Because of Gin Tonic, my favorite long drink. Imagined my delight when I found out that I could bake with gin and tonic too. Awesome!

I just don’t know how many slices you can chug down before getting a little bit tipsy

So we bake a good tart every day - and this one is number one. The basis for a tart is, quite classic, a shortcrust pastry. Puff pastry is also ok. Also in terms of size, there is an alternative - the small tart or as the french call it: the tartelette. On top of it, it can be hearty, sweet or salty. Depending on recipe and taste.

Gin Tonic Tarte with blueberries

Basic sweet

120 g soft butter
80 g powdered sugar
A little vanilla
25 g ground almonds
1 pinch of salt
1 egg
200 g flour

Preparation:

Crumble all ingredients together, excluding the egg, then add the egg and knead into a dough as quickly as possible. Leave to cool for at least 1 hour, roll out to approx. 3-4 mm and place in a baking tin. Peck with a fork and bake at 180° C for about 15 to 20 minutes until the bottom has a light tan. ATTENTION if the ground slips down the edge, push it back up with a spoon when not yet baked. To prevent this, you can also leave the dough slightly over the edge so that it keeps itself up.

Preparation:

Warm up 70 ml gin, sugar and tonic water, just before the liquid starts boiling, stir in the squeezed gelatine and the rest of the gin too. Allow to cool slightly, though it shouldn’t start geling. Beat in the cream and give into the gin mass little by little. Spread the blueberries on the bottom of the tart, place the mousse over it and let it freeze for about 15 minutes, so that it gels better and faster. Decorate with blueberries and meringue.
