Method
  1. Combine the flour, butter, sugar, salt and egg. 
  2. Let the pastry rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. 
  3. Rinse the mirabelles; dry them, pit them and sprinkle with sugar. 
  4. Roll out the pastry and line 4 individual tart molds that have been buttered and floured.
  5. Sprinkle the pastry with the crumbled cookies and arrange the mirabelles on top. Bake in a preheated 180° C (350° F) oven for 25 minutes. 

Making the olive oil ice cream 

  1. Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. 
  2. Whisk the hot milk into the mixture and transfer to a saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens slightly to form a crème anglaise. Do not overheat or the eggs will curdle.
  3. Cool to lukewarm. Whip the cream and fold it into the crème anglaise; add the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Place in an ice cream maker to freeze.
  4. Serve the tarts with the olive oil ice cream and a few mirabelles.
