it has been a long while since i last baked! the last post was on chinese new year goodies in fact - a month of baking hiatus :( i'm telling myself to bear with this last lap of my fyp. before i stop going to lab, i need to get some decent results. most days are spent at lab, otherwise at lectures or tutorials and weekends are when i catch up on lectures...that explains the lack of posts and energy to bake.
this weekend, however, i made an exception! which i'm glad i did :)
this recipe is adapted from Williams Sonoma's book, titled Pie and Tart. my auntie gave us the entire series of his cookbooks and i think they are awesome. very clear instructions and easy to follow steps, plus many helpful tips!
the original recipe actually omits the fresh fruits and it calls for a whopping 5 egg yolks! which turned me off a little, imagine the cholesterol in there~
in the end i used Godiva hazelnut chocolate spread as the choc filling. since it was a little thick i placed it over a double boiler and added some butter and milk to it to get a smooth consistent texture :D
i spreaded some raspberry jam on the base of the tart
added some macadamia nuts into the choc filling
i had a hard time peeling of the layer of skin off the tangerines, and gave up at some point haha

hello AC! too bad all is gone, mostly in jess's stomach haha ;p
You made me really hungry and drool in this rainy and cold Saturday afternoon. Godiva ? My favorite brand. I better go and make myself a cup of hot choco with marshmallow and claim down a bit (blushed)
