Wrap in plastic and place in the fridge for 3 hours minimum or the night. Add the butter and work the pastry until crumbly.Add all the dry ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer, and pulse.We surely do not need a special day for that, do we?įor the chocolate sweet crust (3 hours before or the day before) : With plenty of love, whether it is Valentine’s day or not.

You see, the options are wide open for you to do as you please, and preferably in good company and relaxed, as I wish everyone will have the chance to be. Perhaps you prefer not to have chocolate? Just omit the cocoa powder then. It just works as well, giving a refreshing zesty taste to the tartlets. And what more, should you have problems finding passion fruits for the filling (they sell for near $3 the piece here, so this is a real treat), use lime juice instead. It can well be made using all-purpose flour, up to you to choose what you like best. The crust is incidentally gluten-free - made of white rice flour, cornstarch and quinoa flours - because this is the way I prefer to bake these days. I thought of an inviting dessert to combine both flavors, with a chocolate sweet crust and a passion fruit filling. Something simple, but special all the same. Dessert, I hear you say? Mais bien sûr, a dessert. Who knows? Beside, we celebrated today two sweet life moments: P.’s move to Boston ten years ago and my fête ( mon fête as he says, making me smile when he does): la Saint Béatrice.īut this does not mean that there will be no sparkle and fun. So you know, we might even end up only nibbling on a variety of goodies.

No plan is good, giving us a break from planning too much, too often. In fact, it is as simple as this: our celebration is to do as we please, without making a big fuss. We typically prefer to keep it low key at home, entre-nous sans la foule, with a homemade meal and nice music to listen to - and I am still not sure what we will eat. Perhaps you are amongst those who celebrate Valentine’s day.
