tarts

Impress guests with a palate-pleasing dessert that can be made a day ahead. Top with fresh berries before serving.

“A puddingy slice of chocolate with the flavour intensity of a good truffle and just the right degree of wobble is a perfect pairing for a cookie crust. This is a sophisticated dessert to end a late-night dinner with friends.”

No pastry skills needed to make this impressive French pastry tart. Your food processor does all the mixing and there's no rolling required; just pat right into the tart pan. Fill your perfect shortbread crust with a tangy fresh lemon cream that's incredibly easy as well. The toughest part: squeezing the lemons.

This dessert may sound daunting, but it's easy when you start with frozen puff pastry dough.

Using frozen tart shells makes this an express dessert.
