Lemon Tart

When life gives you lemons, you make a Lemon Tart of course.  At least that's what I love to bake with lemons. This is definitely a favourite amongst family and friends. This Lemon Tart is so delicious, with a fine buttery crust and tangy lemon filling. It is finished with drizzled melted chocolate and topped with raspberries and a touch of edible gold leaf.  The edible gold leaf used to decorate the raspberries are from @dollarsweets.  The touch of edible gold leaf gives the tart a beautiful finish.  However, you can enjoy this lemon tart on it's own with a dusting of icing sugar without the chocolate and raspberries. This recipe is worth the time to make.  Hope you give it a go soon. Happy Baking xo Lemon Tart Ingredients · 1 cup plain flour · ¼ cup icing sugar · 90 grams butter, chopped · 1 egg, separated Filling · 4 eggs · 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind · ¾ cup lemon juice · ¾ cup caster sugar · ½ cup th

Chocolate Tart

I've been wanting to make a Chocolate Tart for awhile now and I finally had the chance to make one. I was deciding whether to make it with all chocolate or make a tart with a chocolate filling. In the end I decided that the more chocolate the better. This Chocolate Tart is so decadent but not overly sweet as it's made with dark chocolate.  The tart consists of a chocolate crust, filled with a melt-in-your mouth ganache-like mousse texture and topped with strawberries and raspberries sprinkled in gold leaf. This is my first time using edible gold leaf by @dollarsweets.  The instructions on the packet was easy to follow. It outlined the best way to use it and things to avoid.  I used a combination of a pair of tweezers and a paint brush to apply the gold leaf to the raspberries. I definitely enjoyed adding a touch of bling to the Chocolate Tart. This recipe is a must for chocolate and tart lovers. Happy Baking xo  Chocolate Tart Ingredients · 1 cup plain flour ·
