Assembly and finishing
Place a 14 cm disc of streusel at the bottom of a 16 cm metal ring. Pipe the pistachio crémeux on top in a spiral motion to create an even layer. Insert a 14 cm disc of pistachio sponge, then place reconstructed streusel all around the ring to form a rim. Pipe the raspberry confit in the center in a spiral motion, then spread it evenly with a small spatula. Whip the Raspberry Inspiration crémeux and pipe it irregularly on top of the tart. Spray with Absolut Crystal glaze and decorate with raspberry coulis, Raspberry Inspiration chocolate decorations, and green pistachio halves.
