Yuzu lemon Opalys Tart
Good afternoon, small question about this course. In the recipe book it says that the quantities in the recipe for the Yuzu Lemon Opalys Tart are for 5 pax. The almond cream chef only use 30gr per tartshell but the recipe is over 1kg in total ingredients, so i guess it is for a lot more than 5 pax, or am i missing something. Many thanks and have a lovely weekend. Steve

Hi Steve, great observation!.
You’re absolutely right in the video, the chef prepares the full recipe of the almond cream and then uses 30 g per tart base, filling only 3 bases during the demonstration.
This is quite common in professional pastry kitchens, as recipes are often made in larger quantities to ensure a well-emulsified, consistent mixture and to make it easier to handle with a piping bag, even if not all of it is used at once or to have more ready for additional tarts.
If you’d like, you can definitely make half of the almond cream recipe without any issue it will work just as well. Just be sure to adjust the mixing times proportionally and check the texture as you go.
Thank you for your question, and wishing you a wonderful weekend as well. If you have any other doubts, feel free to reach out I’ll be happy to help.
Best regards.
