Serving Suggestions:
This tarte au fromage blanc sans pate marmiton is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce. It pairs well with a cup of strong coffee or a glass of dessert wine.
Variations:
If you want to mix things up, you can add lemon zest, orange zest, or ground cinnamon to the filling. You can also use a graham cracker crust or a shortbread crust instead of skipping the crust entirely.
Substitutions:
If you can’t find fromage blanc, you can use cream cheese, ricotta, or cottage cheese instead. If you don’t have heavy cream, you can use half-and-half or whole milk. You can also use a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour.
Storage:
This tarte au fromage blanc sans pate marmiton can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep it fresh.
Tips:
- Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking.
- Don’t overmix the filling, or it may become tough and rubbery.
- If you’re using a store-bought crust, blind bake it for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling to ensure that it stays crispy.
Notes:
This recipe is adapted from Marmiton, a popular French cooking website. Tarte au fromage blanc is a classic dessert in the Alsace region of France, where it’s traditionally made with a shortbread crust. This version skips the crust for a lighter, easier-to-make dessert that’s perfect for summer.
