Practicals 4-6 Tartlets

Practical 6 - Orange Chocolate Tartlet

Among all the tarts we made this week, I liked this the most. Similar ingredients with sweet pastry dough, added with cocoa powder to have a chocolate tartshell. It was filled with creamy chocolate. On top we put frozen Orange chiboust. The surface was caramelized.
Garnished with orange segments. Good to the last bite.

Practical 3 Chocolate Praline Tart

Sweet tart shell coated with dark chocolate pate a glacer. The coating makes the tart shell crispier. Layered with Chocolate Praline cream. Glazed with melted chocolate and decorated with caramelized almonds and hazel nuts.

Practical 2 Le Voyageur (The Traveler)

Le Voyageur (The Traveler)

Tart shell was made from sweet pastry dough. Layered with pistachio paste and raspberry seed jam and topped with almond biscuit.

Practical 1 Galette Breton

Galette Bretton is a shortbread biscuit from Normandy, France. Made from flour, icing sugar and butter. Apply 2 coatings of eggwash before baking. The surface was supposed to be light in color but thick coating resulted to a dark brown biscuit. Pero masarap (yummy) pa rin!
