Best VideosWhite Chocolate Ganache Tart SISGUFANG

A superbly rich and creamy white chocolate ganache tart that requires no baking and uses seasonal raspberries. The crust can be prepared one day ahead. Chill the tart until the cream is fully set for easier cutting or put it in the freezer for an hour if you are in a rush. Use coconut cream and coconut fat as substitutes if you are sensitive to dairy. While I have used a 23cm round tart pan, you could use whatever shaped tart pan or even individual-sized ones you have, but keep in mind this may affect the amounts of white chocolate ganache you’ll need.

Best VideosPepita Frangipane Tart with Mirabelle and Elderberry SISGUFANG

A delicious late summer tart made with a melt-in-mouth buttery spelt-pepita crust, filled with a mildly nutty pepita frangipane cream and topped with a mixture of mirabelles and ederberries (or any fruit you have on hand).

Mirabelle is another delectable European heirloom plum. Small round yellow fruit with yellow red dots. They’re the smallest of the more than 2,000 plum varieties found worldwide, weighing only about 10 g each. The ripe mirabelle plums are delicately aromatic, juicy, sweet, low in calories and rich in vitamins. The mirabelle was probably named after plums grown in Southern France where they were cultivated under the name of mirabel, which means look (mira) and, of course beautiful. Mirabelle plums are very good for compote, jam or cakes and tarts.

Elderberry is dark purple fruit from the elderberry shrub. It's a rich source of antioxidants and vitamins. It has long been used in traditional medicine and appears to have some medicinal benefits.
According to Webmd, elderberries could help tame inflammation, lessen stress, and help protect your heart, too. Some experts recommend elderberry to help prevent and ease cold and flu symptoms. Raw and unripe elderberries contain a poison called cyanide. So they should always be cooked before they're consumed.

Best VideosNo Bake Blueberry Curd Tart SISGUFANG

Do make an extra portion of blueberry curd to spread on homemade bread or pour over some pancakes. You can use fresh or frozen blueberries for the curd. Berries of any kind always yield delicious results! Besides blueberries, you could opt for raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries.

Best VideosNo Bake Chocolate Tart with Edible Gold and Rose SISGUFANG

This decadent, luscious no-bake chocolate tart tastes as good as it looks, yet couldn't be easier to make. For the crust, I use a simple mixture of all-butter spiced cookies and butter- a combination that you can never go wrong with. You can even vary the type of cookie crust you make by changing out speculoos cookies for other types of cookies. Try shortbread cookies, Oreo cookies or simple sugar cookie.

The crust is filled with a lusciously rich chocolate ganache and toasted hazelnuts, then topped off with specks of edible gold leaf and dried rose petals. An easy yet sophisticated dessert! The chocolate tart will keep for up to a week in the fridge.

Cookie Crust	Filling & Assembly
200 g Butter speculoos cookies (or gingersnap cookies) 100 g Butter	50 g Hazelnuts, toasted 120 g 65-70% Dark chocolate (or bittersweet chocolate), coarsely chopped 200 g Milk chocolate, coarsely chopped 200 g Heavy cream 40 g Butter, cut into small pieces

Crush the biscuits by putting them in a large, strong, plastic food bag and bashing with a rolling pin. Melt the butter, then stir in the cookies. Press onto the base and up the sides of a 22cm-24cm tart pan with a removable bottom, making sure the edges and the bottom are compact and of even thickness. Chill for an hour to firm up before adding the filling. Or just make the crust a day or two before.
Preheat oven to 180C/350F. In a baking pan add hazelnuts in one layer and toast in middle of oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly colored and skins are blistered. Wrap nuts in a kitchen towel and let steam 1 minute. Rub nuts in towel to remove loose skins and cool completely.
In a medium bowl, add chopped dark and milk chocolate. Set aside. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, bring the heavy cream and butter to a gentle simmer. Remove from the heat and pour mixture over the chocolate. Let stand for 1 minute and stir until melted and smooth.
Add the toasted hazelnuts to the crust and pour mixture over chilled cookie crust and chill until set, at least 4 hours or overnight.
