Single Rose Brie and Balsamic Bramley Apple Chutney Tartlets

Makes 12

For the filling:

100g Ballylisk Singe Rose Brie, rind removed
50g double cream
Pinch of salt
50g Ballylisk Balsamic Bramley Apple Chutney
1 large sweet potato
Vegetable oil for frying

    For the tartlet shortcrust pastry:

    250g plain flour
    125g butter, diced and kept cool in the fridge
    Pinch of salt
    1-3 tbsp milk or water

      To make the filling:

      1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Single Rose Brie, double cream and pinch of salt until smooth.
      2. Transfer the mixture into a siphon and charge it with 2 cartridges.
      In a blender, blitz the Balsamic Bramley Apple Chutney until it becomes smooth. 3. Put into piping bag.
      4. Peel the sweet potato and slice into thin, skinny chips using a mandoline or sharp peeler.
      5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat until it reaches 150°C.
      6. Fry the sweet potato chips in small batches until golden brown and crispy. 7. Remove from the pan and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.

        To make the pastry:

        1. Sift the plain flour into a large bowl or the largest bowl of a food processor. Add the diced butter and either rub in with your fingertips, or, if using a food processor, pulse until until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the salt and mix again.
        2. Gradually add the liquid by starting with 1 tbsp milk or water, then adding a little more until the mixture comes together to form a dough.
        3. Tip the mixture onto a surface and gently bring it together with your hands, then shape into a disc.
        4. Wrap in cling film and chill for at least 20 minutes before using.
        5. Roll the dough as thin as possible on a lightly floured surface and line 12 pastry moulds or a 12-hole tart tin. Dock with a fork and chill for 1-2 hours.
        6. Preheat oven to 180°C. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.
        7. Allow to cool and gently remove from the tins.

          To assemble:

          Pipe Single Rose Brie into tartlet. Dot chutney on top and crumble sweet potato chips over the canapés.
