Method

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, combine lemon juice with 1 tbs water. Sprinkle gelatine over and stir to blend. Let stand for 5 mins to soften the gelatine.
  2. Step 2

    In a medium bowl, gently whisk 1 cup (250ml) cream with the crème fraîche to combine. In a small saucepan, bring ⅔ cup (150g) sugar and remaining 1 cup (250ml) cream to a simmer over medium heat. Whisk in gelatine mixture until gelatine dissolves. Whisk into the crème fraîche mixture. Cover and chill for 8 hours or until set.
  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir the chocolate and oil until blended. In a food processor, process biscuits and almonds into fine crumbs. Add chocolate mixture and a pinch of salt and pulse until combined. Press into a 3.5cm-deep, 24cm (base measurement) round fluted tart tin with removable base. Freeze for 10 mins or until firm. Transfer to a platter. Place in the fridge to chill.
  4. Step 4

    In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whisk the crème fraîche mixture on medium-high speed for 3 mins or until thick, stiff peaks form. Spoon into the tart shell. Chill for 30 mins or until set.
  5. Step 5

    To make the summer fruit topping, while the tart is chilling, in a bowl, toss the peaches, nectarines, cherries, lemon rind, lemon juice and sugar to coat. Let stand at room temperature, tossing occasionally, for 30-45 mins or until juices form.
  6. Step 6

    Spoon the summer fruit topping over the tart and sprinkle with mint.
