The Paste
Mix butter and icing sugar. Add the egg, then the flour and salt, without kneading for a long time. Flatten, cover and refrigerate for 45 minutes.
The size
Spread the dough to 4 mm. Cut out sixteen diamond pieces 8 cm high and 6 cm wide. Cook at 170°C for 12 to 14 minutes. Cool down.
Make the ganache
Pour the hot cream over 120 g of chopped white chocolate. Mix and refrigerate until spreadable, about 45 minutes.
The Ruby
Spread the ganache on eight biscuits, leaving a hollow in the center. Place a small spoon of jam in each trough and close with the other cookies.
The facets
Melt the remaining 40 g of white chocolate and draw two large diagonals on each top. Add a thin contour of melted dark chocolate. Refrigerate for 20 minutes. The facets remain simple lines on visible biscuit.
Conservation. Keep covered in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours. Leave for 10 minutes before serving.

Baking tips for this recipe
- Work the dough just enough to combine the ingredients after adding flour; avoid prolonged kneading.
- Respect the temperature of the butter and the indicated rest. If a cutting paste becomes sticky, cool it before shaping.
- Keep a regular thickness between pieces of the same batch and monitors the edges at the end of cooking. Let cool before garnishing.
Substitutions and variations
To replace a main ingredient, choose another sheet designed with the one you want to use. Changing the proportions of fat, sugar or liquid can change the hold of the dessert.
Keep the type of chocolate provided for the structure or ganache. Switching from dark chocolate to white chocolate changes the balance: the quantities do not transpose directly.
