Gerbeaud slice
Walnut and apricot jam layers in shortcrust pastry, coated with chocolate.
Named after the Gerbeaud confectionery, this slice is most in demand around Christmas, though we make it all year. Layers of yeasted shortcrust pastry with ground walnut and apricot jam, finished with a chocolate coating.
The jam is not decoration: its acidity balances the oiliness of the walnut and the sweetness of the chocolate.
Serving and storage
Best at room temperature: cold, the chocolate coating hardens and cracks when sliced. Keeps for up to a week in a cool, dry place.
Ingredients
Flour, butter, yeast, walnut, apricot jam, sugar, dark chocolate.
