Chocolate Tahini Tart with Halva

I feel like this recipe doesn't require too much explanation. Chocolate? Good. Tahini? Good. Halva? Good. All three together? Really, really good. One thing that I love about this recipe is it is insanely quick to put together and doesn't require any oven or stove. There's minimal active time which means you can be running … Continue reading Chocolate Tahini Tart with Halva

Blood Orange Chocolate Tart

I think I've established that I go pretty hard with blood oranges once Winter hits, but one obvious ingredient I've never paired them with is chocolate. Think of all the legendary chocolate pairings: Terry's Chocolate Oranges. Chocolate Orange Shortbread. Chocolate dipped clementines. You get the picture, so why not blood orange?? This tart is super straightforward … Continue reading Blood Orange Chocolate Tart

Apricot Crumble Tart

I feel like with half my posts I provide a St Lawrence Market update. This week, berries and cherries continue to dominate the landscape, but two new players have arrived: apricots and peaches.I was so excited to see apricots as I had been flipping through David Leibovitz's My Paris Kitchen the previous evening and there … Continue reading Apricot Crumble Tart

Salted Brown Butter S’more Tart

I think we can all agree that s'mores are one of the best parts of summer? Sweet, chocolatey and toasty, it taps into the highlight reel of summer, from cottage trips to roasting marshmallows on the stove. Just me? Ok. I thought up this tart yesterday morning, wanting to put all the things I love … Continue reading Salted Brown Butter S’more Tart

Salted Caramel Chocolate Tart

Do you have a go-to dessert for potlucks? One that is quick/easy/delicious/impressive all at once? This is mine. I've been making it for years and keep coming back to it. It's obviously delicious, y'all know I'm a sucker for sea salt - but it doesn't even require an oven and comes together in under an … Continue reading Salted Caramel Chocolate Tart

Rhubarb Tart

After making my Easter Rhubarb pie, I found myself in possession of some extra rhubarb. This is definitely my kind of "problem" to have. One of my favourite things about rhubarb is its beautiful pink colour. It adds an easy beauty to any dessert you make with it, even if it's just poached and topped … Continue reading Rhubarb Tart

Chocolate Hazelnut Raspberry Tart

I'll be honest - I thought of this tart while trying to fall asleep. In my half-asleep stupor I made the right call of making a note on my phone, because I would have totally forgotten about it otherwise. I took inspiration from my fig tart from a few weeks ago, I had the leftover … Continue reading Chocolate Hazelnut Raspberry Tart

Fig Tart

Call me a freak, but I find arranging fruit in concentric circles to be strangely soothing. It's so simple and you get absorbed in it, forgetting anything going on around you so you get it just right. That's another reason to eat this tart aside from the fact that it is super delicious, and as … Continue reading Fig Tart

Laduree All Chocolate Tart

I think my first trip to Laduree in Paris was what really got me interested in baking and pastry making. That first macaron was different from anything I had ever tasted, and I stood on the street just dying over how good they were. When I found that they had a cookbook, I was thrilled. … Continue reading Laduree All Chocolate Tart

Salted Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart

Do you ever inexplicably have a craving that must be fulfilled no matter what? I had one the other day for chocolate and peanut butter that I knew wouldn't be satisfied with a peanut butter cup. No. It had to be bigger and better. Preferably with Oreos involved somehow. Therefore, we have this tart. Rich … Continue reading Salted Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart
