Lemon Chocolate Tart

So I've FINALLY completed my last classes and assignments in school and I'm just left with 2 examinations before I graduate. This is just about the moment I've been waiting for. After all, 4 years of teaching training is tough and I can't wait to complete my training. It has been really tough and filled with challenges and I'm pretty glad that I'm almost done.

On a lighter note, Billy and I were featured in NTUC's NEXT Magazine, April 2013 issue! It's been about 1.5 years since I've started blogging and indeed, this is like a huge milestone to me. It's little things like this (Okay, maybe more than little) that keeps me going. The many emails and comments I get from those who love reading this blog too keeps me going! (:

So, back to the topic, this Lemon Chocolate Tart was baked to commemorate my 'partial' graduation. This tart is just firm and crunchy while the lemon curd is tangy and the chocolate mousse is all rich. And this tart is just so pretty to boot! This project took me about 2 hours and I'd grade it a level 3 out of 5 for difficulty. 

Nutella Tart

This Nutella Tart is just THEBOMB. This is best eaten chilled and I can't understand why I didn't bake it any earlier. This is pretty simple to bake and can be the tart can be baked in advance.. Alternatively, if you're lazy enough, buy a store-bought shortcrust pastry (: This recipe yields 2 5" Nutella Tarts. The reason why I made such a 'huge' quantity is that 1 portion of shortcrust pastry maybe too tough to work with as it is very small in quantity. You may want to halve the recipe and just bake one tart.. but since it's gonna be so good, why not 2? (:
