Like it or not, desserts and dishes go hand in hand. If I could show you the pile of large and small dishes in my kitchen every day, it’ll not make a pretty sight at all.  Mixing bowls, baking pans, trays, measuring jug, sieves, spatulas, cake stands, plates and so on..Phew! Multiply that into 2 recipes every day for Christmas during the last quarter and you’ll have to reserve an hour in the day to just do dishes and clean. That’s why I love simple recipes, with fewer ingredients and lesser equipment. Plus the added bonus of being make-ahead. Win win!

 

This tart is phenomenal! It gives your guests the impression that you’ve spent a great deal of time in making it while it actually is pretty easy. And it does taste like Heaven. A tart made of an Oreo crust and filled with chocolate ganache and topped with raspberries and hazelnuts can only be blow-your-mind kind of good, right"  A good quality chocolate can elevate it even further.  Feel free to experiment with flavoured chocolates though I really like it as it is. Classic chocolate and raspberries…Oh so amazing!
