Homefront: Blackberry Cream Tarts

By Leslie Parks - Thursday, April 22, 2021



Often times I will crave a dessert but I never turn to cake.  But give me a tartelette with fresh fruit and a creamy filling and I will gorge myself with them.  Sometime I wonder if I should have gone to a culinary or baking school but it actually grew out of my love for photography.  Food should look delicious.  We eat with our senses.  Taste may be the last of the senses to enjoy the food.  First we either smell or see it.  I suppose we don’t hear it unless it’s a steak sizzling or rice Krispees going snap crackle pop or pop corn bursting.  But we taste food ass much with our eyes and our sense of smell as with our taste buds.  Actually if we can’t smell, food has no taste.  Seriously try it.  Food tastes bland when our nose is stuffed up.  Our sense of touch also dictates our tastes as well.  There have been many times that the food has been disappointing because of the texture. But these little blackberry tartelettes are perfect,  A delicate shortbread crust and a creamy whipped frozen based topped with wild blackberries has the perfect texture and taste.  However I do want to perfect my shortbread crust.  I do have to say that the book, How to bake like a French pastry chef is perfect for learning the basics to build with.  And so I will continue to work out the crème légère and the pate sable to make the perfect little tartelette
