Last night was the last “meatball night” at III Bean. I made a Lemon Truffle tart, I am not sure yet if this tart is to everyone’s taste, and I have yet to get the feed back from the night. To me lemon and chocolate is a refreshing but satisfyingly rich combination, and as a friend said the best gelato selection. Usually when I make a chocolate tart I make some form of ganache but this time I wanted it to be a bit lighter, so I made a rich mousse and spooned it onto a lemon cream, sprinkled it with bitter Dutch cocoa and placed a piece of candied lemon zest for colour on top.
Next week they are making their winter favourite; Cassoulet, I hope they want me to make the cake again.

This looks lovely. The only thing that isn’t to my taste is when cocoa is dusted over the top. I always end up breathing it in as I stuff whatever-it-is down my throat and end up having a mini-choke.
That’s funny, the Mr has the same problem with icing sugar. He likes to eat a tart in two bites though.
This sounds incredible – love the sound of mousse instead of ganache.
This combination sounds absolutely divine. Yum.
