Lemon Curd Tart

I'm a sucker for lemons, lemons, lemons. I'd have anything with lemon in it. By anything, I don't really mean anything, you do know that, right? Duh.

So this is what Bourke Street Bakery's one looks like!

So, the first time I visited Bourke Street Bakery, I had one of them to take home with me. Paired with vanilla ice cream and some fresh strawberries, it was oh so delectable. Aside from the Ginger Brulee Tart, I knew I HAD to learn how to make the fabulous lemon curd tart. 


Yes, I used the recipe from Bourke Street Bakery! And bear with me, the recipe is a bit long.

Chocolate Mousse

Say MOUSSE!

How do you get rid of your stress? I either go to the gym and run like a mad man or cook something totally sinful and appropriate. I'll admit I did both, but THIS came first. The whole idea of making a chocolate mousse came from watching Masterchef Australia. Yes, Masterchef!* One of the contestants cooked a dessert comprising a pannacotta and a chocolate mousse. The judges deemed the chocolate mousse was fabulous, and it was "sex on a plate". How appropriate.  My cousin and I were like OOOhhhh, mousse! And almost simultaneously, we decided to make mousse the next day.

After a drink too many [Why do I keep talking about drinks? I totally didn't have drinks!:)] We started making the chocolate mousse. It was easy easier than pie.
