No Bake Chocolate Tart Chocolate is the queen of pastry, the most used ingredient, the most loved flavor and let me tell you the most versatile one as well. There’s no pastry chef to not like working with chocolate. Due to its incredible taste and great texture, chocolate turns dessert making into an easy task….
Pies, Tarts and Sweet Rolls
Placinta americana cu mere
Placinta cu mere a copilariei mele nu arata nici pe departe ca aceasta, ci consta mai degraba in foi subtiri de aluat asemanator celui de paine, umplut cu mere din belsug si rulat strans. Clasica placinta cu foi subtiri. Bunica nu avea unt sa ne faca asa ceva si nici nu stia ca exista astfel…
The Apple Pie
I will be honest with you – never in my childhood my mum or my grandma baked pies looking like this one. Whenever I thought of pies as a kid I pictured what my grandmother used to make – a roll kind of pie made of bread dough, rolled very thinly and filled with cheese…
Mini tarte cu matcha si zmeura
Continuam aventura cu matcha de la Nevis inceputa in articolul de zilele trecute cu aceste mini tarte cu matcha si zmeura atat de delicate in simplitatea lor. Exteriorul poate nu impresioneaza, insa interiorul iese in evidenta cu siguranta! O coaja nispoasa de pate sucree ce se topeste in gura, un gel de zmeura intens aromatizat…
{St. Honore Tartlettes} – Tarte St. Honore
French pastries are some of the best in the world, new all agree on that. What I love about them though is not necessarily the taste and texture, but the fact that they represent the norm, they are the base of everything else. Starting from any of them French desserts, one can easily create something…
{Pistachio Raspberry Tartelettes} – Tarte cu fistic si zmeura
Truth is that the last couple of weeks, if not months, have been so so intense with classes and masterclasses and so much recipe research and tasting. Not that I am complaining as it’s been so fun and delightful! It’s like a dream job – making desserts and teaching people – it’s like living my…
{Mint Pistachio Tart} – Tarta cu menta si fistic
There’s two things that I love a bit too much in pastry – pistachio and praline. I always fall for these two flavors, regardless of what dessert it is. It could be a cake, it could be an ice cream (oh my, ice cream!) or it could be a tart, it really doesn’t matter as…
{Chocolate Amaretto Tart} – Tarta cu Amaretto si ciocolata
For someone saying she doesn’t like chocolate that much anymore, I do post a fair lot of chocolate dessert recipes. But look at this tart! It’s so pretty and packed with textures and flavor! The crunchy, melt-in-your-mouth tart shell, the rich almond frangipane soaked in Amaretto, the dense dark chocolate ganache and the airy chocolate…
{Tonka Apricot Tart} – Tarta cu tonka si caise
The season of apricots may be over, but not the season of tarts. I mean, look at this beauty! One can always find an excuse to bake such a delicious dessert! This tonka apricot tart is anything you’ve ever dreamed of in terms of how a tart should be: crisp pate sucree, moist and fragrant…
{Raspberry Pistachio Tartlets} – Mini tarte cu zmeura si fistic
Oh my, pistachio has become my weakness! Much like Superman’s kryptonite, except that I get stronger in its presence, I love it, I seek it, I enjoy working with it, I love its color and delicate flavor. And I believe that combined with raspberry, it becomes one of the best flavor combos there is! So…
{Infiniment Vanille Tartlets} – Mini tarte cu vanilie
Following my last post focusing on vanilla, here comes what I believe to be one of the best tartlette recipes I have ever made and tasted! I’m not even sure what makes these infiniment vanille tartlets so delighful: maybe it’s the creamiest texture ever or the intense vanilla flavor or perhaps the vanilla studded filling…
{Strawberry Frangipane Tartlettes} – Tarte cu frangipane
There’s no secret that I love almonds and I love strawberries. They are both delicate ingredients that work well together or mixed with other flavors. But despite using them before in various combos, together or alone, I’ve never made frangipane before and I have to say that I fell in love with it. The delicate almond…
