About Me

My kitchen experiments began humbly, simply substituting for the meat in recipes to convert classics into vegetarian meals. I have become more creative and confident over the years, adapting recipes to include seasonal produce, suit my pantry contents and satiate food cravings! I sometimes strive to recreate fantastic meals I've had at restaurants, and other times I go wild and combine multiple recipes to create a one dish extravaganza! The trouble with always adapting meals is that I forget the successful adaptations I've made. Hopefully this blog will help with that!

Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart

Since the last chocolate pie worked out so well, I thought I'd try another! This recipe reminds me of the chocolate peanut butter balls my Mom made at Christmas when I was a kid. Think giant peanut butter cup!

Thanks to my patient husband for waiting a whole day to dig in to this delicious tart, so I could take a daytime picture of it in one piece!

Based on Trish Deseine's recipe featured in the April 2012 issue of delicious. magazine.

23 chocolate cookies
1/2 c. butter, melted
1 1/2 c. crunchy peanut butter
1 c. icing sugar
200g dark chocolate, roughly chopped
2 tbsp. butter, in pieces

In a blender, finely chop the cookies. Combine with the melted butter and press into a tart pan. Refrigerate while preparing the other layers.

Melt the chocolate and remaining butter in a bowl placed over a small pot filled with a couple inches of simmering water. (Ensure the bowl does not touch the hot water.) Carefully stir together the chocolate and butter before removing from the heat.

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter and icing sugar.

Gently press the peanut butter mixture into the cookie crust. Pour the melted chocolate on top, smoothing with a spatula. Allow to set in the refrigerator for a couple hours before serving.
