I couldn’t quite think of a better emoticon to describe the above combination. 1. to show, oh man! its SO GOOD. 2. to show, oh man !! all the calories !! *cries* But its all worth it.
I was on a baking-roll lately that I just wanna bake bake and bake despite the fact that I also bake bake and bake at work. Tiring but well, both are different things. One, is like a mini routine. Whereas another, is more experimental and “Oh-I-feel-like-a-chocolate-caramel-thingy-today” kinda thing if you get what I mean.

Being all so ambitious, I just wanted to bake everything. But this particular luscious tart caught my eye from Kate Zuckerman’s The Sweet Life. Almost everything from the book is so attractive. I think this is the first (but not last) dessert I made from the book. I did get alot of ideas from the book, like my self-invented caramel mousse cake with rum jelly, and the brown butter, and some macaron ideas. The next thing I wanna make from the book would be… ermm, we’ll see. Maybe some sorbet / ice creams.
OKay, let me introduce the tart. Its a chocolate tart (duh!) Wait, let’s be more specific.
Chocolate Caramel tart filling, that’s almost mousse-like in texture but at the same time so rich and fudgy. For the crust, the normal sweet pie crust. For this, I used a hazelnut sweet crust which was so good! In which, hazelnut meal substituted a portion of the plain flour or almond meal. It’s like magic!

mmm yummmyyy
