Then, there are alternative recipes that give pride of place to other dried fruits, while echoing some of pastry's essential tarts: the Pistache d'Iran galette (Iranian pistachio frangipane, pistachio praline and crushed pistachios), and the Muscovado Noisette galette (Muscovado frangipane, hazelnut praline and crushed hazelnuts).

We end with the most original creation in this collection, the Coco-Pandan galette (Pandan frangipane, shredded coconut with dried Pandan). It combines the flavors of roasted coconut with the vanilla notes of Pandan. A recipe full of sweetness that will surprise and delight gourmets. Inside these galettes are beans created by ceramist Corentin Brison, representingcrowns stamped with tartelettes. But that's not all: if you're lucky enough, you might even come across an "Amaya" bean, and win a gift card valid in the jewelry store.
