Raspberry Chocolate Ganache Tart
Recipe by Fork Knife Swoon
It's been a while since I've posted. I have been moving for the past 1.5 weeks and didn't have time to bake or do anything other than get my life together. Moving isn't fun, but more about that later. I made a Raspberry Chocolate Ganache Tart for a friend's birthday!
Process-
It isn't that difficult to make! My issue was getting around my new kitchen. Everything is all over the place, and I also got a food processor that I haven't used, but those are my issues, not the recipes. The crust is an easy blend of butter, graham crackers, sugar, and salt, and the Ganache is chocolate, cream, and vanilla.
The only issue I had when making this was when baking, the crust sank to the pan's bottom. Now at first, I freaked out. I am making a tart for someone, and they need it tomorrow. But I took a breath, googled graham cracker crust issues, and figured out a way around it. All you have to do is press the crust back on the sides. It was an easy fix.
Taste-
So this is a tricky one- I didn't make this for myself, as I said above. This is for a friend's birthday party, which means I don't get to cut into this bad boy- BUT- I did taste all of the components, and everything tasted great. Let's hope for the best.
I've had anxiety about making this for the past two days. Next time I'll make whatever is requested beforehand, so I know what I'm in for. It's pretty stupid of me, but I've had no time. I won't do it again, haha
Random Thoughts-
I love our new house! It was built in 1915 and craftsmen style. It has so much character and feels like we have lived here forever. The process of getting the house was easy! We only had to wait 1.5 days to hear if we got it, which was nice, but the moving of our whole life was not fun. I have a routine, and this move threw me for a loop. I don't know where anything is and always asking Taylor the following questions-
Where are my keys?!
Where is the nicotine gum?!
Where are the furniture pads?!
Where are the band-aids?!
As for baking- I have so many recipes in store! Here is the plan for the rest of September:
Meringues
Peanut butter cups
Apple Strudel
Pretzel
Profiteroles
I'll be doing one cool thing in October, November, and December- making Holiday Sweets Boxes. I'm going to put 3-4 holiday-themed bakes in cute boxes to sell! I'm curious to see how this will play out- process-wise, packaging wise, customer wise, etc. I'll also be taking family photos like I do every fall season. I still don't have a full-time job and think these two activities will boost my income a bit!
OH, AND GBBO IS ON NETFLIX NEXT FRIDAY. I CAN'T FREAKING WAIT.
Can't wait for the next bake!
