Let this year be full of joy and delicious food.
To start off this year, lets make an easy dessert, a deconstructed chocolate and strawberry tart in a parfait form. Its a classic flavour combination, chocolate and strawberry. It has elements of a tart but none of the baking or moulding. So here goes...
Ingredients: (for about 6 pieces)
6 Chocolate Oreos
12-14 pieces of strawberry
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4-1 cup whipped chocolate ganache (recipe below)
Crush the Oreos into a fine powder. Keep aside. Hull the strawberries and dice them. In a saucepan, add the strawberries and sugar and cook till the sugar dissolves, typically not more than 3-4 minutes. Cool them.
In a parfait glass, put a spoonful of Oreo crumbs at the bottom. Next top with the strawberries till 3/4th full. Now fill the whipped ganache in a piping bag and swirl a mound on the strawberries. You can garnish with a piece of strawberry. Chill for about an hour and serve!
For the whipped ganache:
1/3 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup finely chopped dark or milk chocolate
Warm the cream and add the chocolate to it. Heat on very low flame. Stir till the chocolate melts. Cool the ganache and whip with an electric beater or whisk it to make it lighter and fluffier.
