Chocolate Cream Tart ~ Tuesdays With Dorie

28 Apr

Thanks to Kim of Scrumptious Photography for choosing a favorite flavor for this weeks recipe.  Kim is well known around TWD for her fabulous photography as well as her baking abilities.  Make sure you stop by her blog and feast your eyes.  You’ll leave hungry, so make sure you have a back up plan.  :-)   You can also find the recipe there.

Dorie’s Chocolate Cream Tart is the perfect dessert for a Celebration, a Supper Club, a Birthday or a Holiday Gathering.  Since today is my birthday, I’m thinking the birthday angle.  I have a mental picture  of it as a woman dressing for a dinner out.  A pretty little black dress, the perfect  shoes and the all important accessories.  Luscious chocolate cream made from your favorite chocolate,  layered on top of a  chocolate shortbread tart dough, finished with the lightly sweetened whipped cream.  I think I must have my mind on “Birthday Dinner.”  Ya think?  he he  

Thank you Dorie for another “feel good” dessert.  The Chocolate Cream Tart is definitely a winner (so chocolatey) in my collection of favorites from Baking From My Home to Yours. 

I’m off celebrating getting old-er.  I hope all the bakers at TWD enjoyed this weeks Chocolate Cream Tart.  Stayed tuned for next weeks selection Tiramisu.  Thank you so much for stopping by.  Isn’t it fun to make new friends?

Proscrastination = photos later.  I will tell you that I am going to enjoy this tart today….hope you do too.  I made the elements last night and assembled this morning hoping for a photo shoot before school….ooops, guess I will have to wait til this afternoon.  Darn!!  So for now please enjoy a cupcake photo.

    Happy (belated) birthday! Your cupcakes look fabulous. And a lot like most of the ones I make around here. Everyone but me requests chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Me, I’m a vanilla cake (white or yellow) with chocolate frosting kind of gal. I hope you enjoyed the tart once you put it together.
