TWD: La Palette's Strawberry Tart

So, I wasn't sure about this week's recipe. I don't care for strawberries. I know...I'm weird. I think the taste is GREAT, but something about the texture and the seeds....just turns me off. So, anyway...when I saw that Marie from A Year From Oak Cottage chose this one, I wasn't sure how I was going to do a whole tart for just Ugg. Little did I know, that if given the chance, he'd have eaten the whole thing on his own, given enough whipped cream!



But then.....it turned out that I was having people over for dinner last night! It was pretty last minute, so I really apppreciated that this dessert was pretty quick to put together. I am really in love with the crust the Dorie does for her tarts. Like a shortbread cookie...really tasty!


Everyone loved this dessert...it was a HOT night, and I think everyone appreciated the light, refreshing nature of this tart. It was not what they were expecting, I think...my friends are used to something a bit more rich when it comes to me! Last time I had people over, I made the Peanut Butter Torte!!

So -- make sure you take the time to check out everyone's tarts here...you won't be disappointed!
