Crown tart base: Pre-bake the tart base for 15 to 20 minutes at 150°C.
–
Almond cream: Cream the butter. Add the sugar and salt. Add the eggs then the almond powder.
–
Rhubarb compote: Rehydrate the jelly in cold water. Wash, peel and chop the rhubarb, then stew the rhubarb with the sugar. Add the gelatine. Set aside in the refrigerator.
–
Cream with cream cheese: Whip the cream with the sugar, vanilla, grated tonka bean and cream cheese.
–
Poached rhubarb: Make a syrup with the water, sugar and vanilla. Wash, peel and cut the rhubarb into sections. Pour the hot syrup over the rhubarb and cover. Leave for 5 minutes. Check the cooking with a knife blade (the rhubarb must be tender on the outside and crunchy in the middle to hold together).
