Strawberry Lemonade Tart

Wednesday, May 22, 2013

Just when I was getting used to the idea of spring, it was positively summer in NYC yesterday. We're talking 90 degrees. While it looks like there's relief in sight, it made me realize that I am not ready for summer. Let's hold on to spring for a while longer, okay? If we have to have warm days, then we can take relief in this tart. The tart and sweet flavors of strawberry lemonade are baked into a graham cracker crust for a refreshing dessert.

As a child, I disliked the texture of berries. I loved the flavors, but the texture was just weird to me. I'm happy to say I've gotten over that. I still don't like to bite into a big strawberry, but cut those up and I'm good. No idea what that's all about. In any case, I now happily embrace berries and love to use them in baking. For my taste, I prefer to use them in a way that lets the flavor of the berries come through. They're plenty sweet on their own without adding much to them. This tart is a lovely way to revel in berry deliciousness.

Because of how much I love the glorious combination of chocolate and peanut butter, I'm always looking for new ways to use them. I've covered cookies, brownies, cheesecakes, and more. But, these little tartlets are pretty special. It all starts with the crust, which is essentially a peanut butter cookie. If you're like me, you're already sold. Then, a fudgy chocolate filling goes into the crust for a magical chocolate-peanut butter experience.

I've been making a family recipe for pecan pie for many years. It's just your straightforward, traditional pecan pie. And that's what I like about it. This year, I found myself wanting something a little different. So, I decided to take the idea of that pie and change it up a bit. A little brown sugar, a variety of nuts, and there you go!
