Fast Fox Turtle

Renard Tortue – Vite, also known as “swift fox turtle” in English, is a traditional French pastry that is made using layers of flaky puff pastry filled with a delicious almond cream. This delicious dessert is often enjoyed during special occasions and celebrations in France, and is a favorite among both adults and children.

To make Renard Tortue – Vite at home, you will need the following ingredients:

– 1 sheet of puff pastry
– 1 cup of almond flour
– 1/2 cup of sugar
– 1/2 cup of butter, softened
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon of almond extract
– 1/4 cup of sliced almonds
– Powdered sugar, for dusting

To begin, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Thaw your puff pastry according to the package instructions, and lay it out on a lightly floured surface.

In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, sugar, softened butter, egg, and almond extract. Mix well until a smooth almond cream forms.

Spread the almond cream evenly over the puff pastry sheet, leaving a small border around the edges. Roll the pastry from one side to the other to create a log shape, then use a sharp knife to slice the log into 1-inch thick pieces.

Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one to allow for spreading. Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top of each slice, then place in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the almond cream is set.

Once the Renard Tortue – Vite is finished baking, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar for a finishing touch, and enjoy!

This traditional French pastry is best enjoyed warm with a cup of coffee or tea, and makes a perfect dessert for any special occasion. The flaky puff pastry combined with the sweet almond cream creates a delicious and indulgent treat that is sure to impress your family and friends.
