STEEMIT CULINARY CHALLENGE # 30: Berries season has started tart

It is time for this weeks SCC!! Thank you @biglipsmama for choosing the theme. and to @woman-onthe-wing for hosting the challenge. I had a lot of fun preparing these tart and my family made sure it disappear in a lightening speed.

Berries season is starting here in Poland, so it is time to eat as many of them as possible because of this, I couldn't imagine my entry for this challenge without using fresh, handpicked strawberries from my garden. As I was picking the strawberries I noticed that the Kamchatka honeysuckle's berries are all ready to eat so I had to have them as well on top of my tart :) 

Enjoy the recipe!!

Ingredients:

1. Crust

• 2 cups of almond flour (or any other nut flour)
• 1 tbs of sugar or honey
• 1 pinch of salt
• 100 g of butter

2. Chocolate ganache

• 1 bar of chocolate
• whipping cream (about 1/3-1/2 weight of chocolate)

3. Topping

• 250 mL of whipping cream
• 250 mL of Mascarpone cheese
• Strawberries
• Kamchatka honeysuckle berries

1. Combine all of the ingredients for the crust. When a uniform structure is achieved, form a ball and leave it wrapped in the fridge for 30 minutes. Then spread the dough evenly on the tart pan and bake it at 175oC for about 20 minutes.

2. While the cake is baking prepare the ganache by melting chocolate over a double boiler. When the chocolate is all molten add the cream slowly and mix well until no lumps are visible. Set it aside.

3. When the crust starts to brown take it out of the oven and let it cool. Then add ganache on top and place it in the fridge for 15 minutes. In the meantime whip the whipping cream. When the cream is nicely whipped add Mascarpone and whip the mixture until fluffy. Spread the cream on top of ganache when it is becoming a harder.

4. Arrange the berries on top of the cream and enjoy!!

Cheers!!
