Tarte à la Framboise - Raspberry tart - 11-17/07

 

Tonight we are invited to Chi Tan and Anh Hung pre-thanksgiving dinner.  They are going to Cabos on Thanksgiving day and decided to throw a party earlier to see everyone before taking off.. Anyway, tonight there are going to be a lot of people!  Don't really know what to bake?  I went to the store and saw some fresh raspberries and I decided then and there to bake a raspberry tart and I am also trying to make some French Macarons for the party.

The raspberries are so colorful and it is a really beautiful tart.

The raspberries are also so festive and it is perfect for a celebration.

 

Preparation work

Once the dough is is form to the mold,  I filled the tart pan with pie weights (beans in this case).

Once it is bakes I removed the weights.

The tart is then filled with home made crème pâtissière.

Next a layer of fresh raspberries is sitting on top of the crème pâtissière.

A heated apricot jam is then brushed on the raspberries for a nice sheen.

Next... French Macarons
