A delicious and elegant tart, Rhubarb and Raspberry Don't forget to share your photos once you tried this recipe! HERE |

In Nantua |
I will show you how to make this wonderful tart, that I discovered in France, in the "Bugey" region (east)
About this recipeSo while spending a few hours by the lake (the Bugey is so cold in winter and so hot in summer !), we found that the best way to cool down our bodies was not to stay by the lake but to find a nice store with Air Conditioned... And so we went to a tea room that had this wonderful rhubarb raspberries tart |
![]() |
The pastry chef who created this tart had the good idea to shape and bake the tart in a square mold, with a mixed rhubarb and raspberries jam |

“Fantastique recette! A l'époque où j'ai réalisé cette recett, la rhubarbe n'était pas de saison, j'ai donc substitué avec de la mangue, bonne combinaison à mon goût. J'ai hélas pris la photo à la sortie du congélateur ce qui explique l'aspect blanchâtre des boules, mais après quelques instants elles étaient bien brillantes!Je vis aux Etats Unis et les américains étaient épatés.Ce site est vraiment accessible, les photos, le matériel à utiliser et les étapes une à une bien montrées. Je ne peux m'en passer!Merci!“

“Pour la première il y a eu quelques ratés, surtout pour la base framboise-rhubarbe réalisée avec des framboises fraiches. J'ai utilisé 3 feuilles de gélatine mais ce n'était pas assez et les billes se sont enfoncées.... Il n'y a plus qu'à en refaire une en corrigeant cette erreur.... Elle était quand même très bonne même si elle ne se tenait pas à la découpe.“

FX (François-xavier) answers :
“Bravo, j'aime beaucoup les billes et les couleurs. EN la refaisant vous serez encore plus satisfaits !“

“Seconde tentative après avoir acheté le moule carré. Toujours réalisé avec des framboises surgelées mais un temps de compotage plus long que pour la purée et une feuille de gélatine de plus pour le fond. La recette est si bien expliquée que tout le monde peut la réaliser..... la preuve en image.“
