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.

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!
