The reason for this was because of my crazy workload, and my cousins who came from out of town. I've had a lot going on recently. Now its over. Until the beginning of May until the end of June. I'll worry about that then.
Over my spring break i baked a few goodies I'm just dying to show you :)
I baked a white chocolate cheesecake, and a dark chocolate white caramel tart. The cheesecake; i was super impatient with the cooling, so i sprinkled the white chocolate on it while it was mildly warm, then shoved it in the freezer. What happened? the chocolate melted on top of the cake, and it froze as a hard shell! The only downside was that it was harder to cut. Let me show you!
I *would* have gotten a picture of the full cake but, **ahem** my brother and father were so impatient (like me! haha) they just had to have a slice! Ahaha. Now I see their love for cheesecake. I will make cheesecake more often although I'm not particularly fond of it. I do love white chocolate though. And the graham cracker crust! :)
For the tart, i didn't even have a recipe, i just added ingredients from my own head and it turned out SUPER! So I'm proud of that.The reason i call it "Dark Chocolate White Caramel Tart" is because its a tart layer with 1) A nice flaky crust on the bottom. 2) A thick layer of rich dark chocolate. 3) A white chocolate caramel layered neatly on top of the dark chocolate. Is your mouth watering yet? Mine is. I sure wish i had some right now! Im a chocoholic :)
For the white chocolate caramel i just combined a little condensed milk, butter, sugar, and white chocolate in a saucepan, melted it, cooled it then poured it over my tart. No official measurements or recipes because everything was done by eye off the top of my head. I'm guessing since white chocolate is relatively softer than dark/semisweet (or at least the brand i buy is!) it didn't harden like the dark chocolate, it was much gooier and a lot like honey. So... its a white caramel! :) Then... i decorated it!
Here's what it looked like before i added the white caramel:
Now with the white caramel:
And of course, decorated!
Personally i liked it before it was decorated, but my little sister insisted on "rainbow and colors". Now you know the story of my tart.
Ill update again soon!
Happy baking
