Chocolate Peanut Butter Pudding Cups. Chocolate Caramel Tart. Posted by Grace Massa Langlois on Friday, 8th July 2011 When I finally decided on Lemon Meringue Tarts for the holiday weekend I knew I would have to offer another choice because not everyone in my family is a fan of citrus desserts.
It didn’t take me too long to decide on the other option because everyone in my family loves chocolate. I decided immediately to pair the chocolate with luscious caramel. I also wanted to add a few different textures and flavours. I present to you pure indulgence, Chocolate-Caramel Tart – crispy, hazelnut sweet short pastry with four layers of goodness – caramel, toasted hazelnuts, dark and milk chocolate ganache, and milk chocolate glaze. Ostkaka (Swedish Cheesecake) Ostkaka, literally cheese cake in Swedish, is a specialty of the Småland region.
Historically its earliest mention is in the 1520s in a list of foods served on New Year’s Day in the household of Bishop Hans Brask in Linköping. Today you can buy it ready-made in any supermarket making it an easy and popular dish to take to parties and Christmas celebrations. If made in the traditional way, rennet is needed to convert milk into cheese that is broken up and mixed with eggs, cream, flour, sugar and almonds. But the preparation can be greatly simplified by utilizing cottage cheese. There are recipes in Vår Kok Bok (essentially Sweden’s Joy of Cooking) for both the traditional recipe using rennet and the simplified version using cottage cheese.
