KP+: Mimosa Tarts
A new bake for International Women's Day
Hello and welcome to today’s edition of KP+. Today I’m thrilled to share a recipe inspired by International Women’s Day: The Mimosa Tart ft. flavours of honey, chamomile, vanilla and milk. It’s a dreamy, creamy dessert finished with pollen for a beautiful springlike flavour and colour palette. How cute are those choux buns?!
In my career, I’ve been lucky enough to work in a range of kitchens. When I decided to leave pastry school early, I promised myself that I would create my own curriculum through the jobs I applied for and worked. Whether that was sourdough, ice cream or viennoiserie, it meant that I was always learning. But when it comes to gorgeous little tarts, there’s one place that I owe all my inspiration to… my very first job at Dominique Ansel NYC. It was the first professional kitchen I ever stepped into and watching beautiful tarts being developed, composed and finished was a genuinely life altering experience for me. Today, I pay homage to the all the petit gateaux that inspired me to become a pastry chef in the first place.
It’s been a moment since I’ve made a really fancy looking tart and I’m SO excited about this one. Plus look at all the other tarts you can make with the choux-on-tart concept - I fell in love with these croquembouche and profiterole tarts. Let your imagination run free!
