Fruit Tarts with Jim Dodge

September 22, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm

This is a hands-on class with demonstrations and limited class size to allow for more individual attention from your instructor. Learn to make the perfect tart crust in a stand mixer and the easy and quick food-processor. Crème Légère is lighter and firmer than Crème Pâtissière, which makes it the ideal contrasting companion for fresh fruit. During baking the succulent juices of the plums are captured by the frangipane and creates complex aromatic flavors. Frustrated with messy abstract Crostatas, chef Jim has a few techniques to share. Each student will make and leave with each of the tarts.

Products Made in Class:

  • Fresh Berry tart with Vanilla & Chocolate Crème Légère

  • Plum & Almond Frangipane Tart

  • Apple Crostata, a rustic free-form fruit tart
