Finally I was able to take a picture that looks really fancy!
I really wanted to make something for my new boss so I was looking around online and found this lovely recipe for tarts. It's basically like baklava minus a lot of the syrup and sugar. The recipe called for toasted almonds but I'm not sure I'll toast them as long next time, they were really bitter.
The filling is a combination of a few things. The recipe called for sour cream and greek yoghurt, but I used sour cream, mascarpone and whipping cream instead. So it turned out to be a kind of creamy tangy cream cheese type mixture. It was delicious, if not a little bit for the adult palet (aka a gourmet taste)...
Another thing I was adventurous enough to do, was to try the chocolate swirls. Unfortunately all I had the courage to do was a U-shape but they turned out fun, and looked like shavings so it wasn't half bad. I also had some shards of chocolate but the shavings looked cooler so they got eaten faster.
Instead of copying and pasting the whole recipe I thought I might put down the link to the website. Even if you just glaze over this recipe you should check out the rest of the site. It's kind of amazing; there are all kinds of tips on there, and new and different recipes (since it's an Australian site). For instance I didn't know what Pavlova was, or Panforte, but both look crazy fun to make. And the Pavlova is I believe, really similar to the meringue swirls I've made, but the guy in the video has some cool techniques to go with it. Anyway I digress..
