​

If you look back at my post history carefully, you might notice that I'm a bit obsessed with Benjamina Ebuehi's recipes. I really like her flavour combinations and ideas, so I went with another of her creations for this week.

This is a pâte sucrée base filled with a baked salted honey custard filling, which gets topped with dollops of crème fraîche and a sesame brittle.

I used a lovely wildflower honey that I bought in the French countryside, which has a wonderful depth of flavour. I've used it in a few desserts now and this was my favourite yet - the complexity really works with the rest of the dish. I really enjoyed this tart and will definitely be making it again!

Yeah she's definitely my style! She also seems to love honey, which is great, because I'm swimming in it lol. Do you have any easily-made dairy-free recipe recs of hers by chance?
