Bought Tarts Anon’s recipe book and been baking tarts consistently this year.

I used to avoid anything that required rolling, and tart is one of the things I refused to make. After making 5 tarts in the last few months, I’m more comfortable with tarts but still need more trial and error.

The first tart is a pandan coconut tart. Used the coconut jam recipe from Republique, replaced the lemon juice with pandan juice from Tarts Anon’s lemon tart recipe, and added a layer of coconut glaze on top to cover some bubbles.

The second tart is the black forest tart from Tarts Anon’s book. A layer of cherry jam, a chocolate cake batter with macerated cherries in it, and a dark rum glaze instead of kirsch.

The third tart is a banana “cream” tart. Made the banana caramel from Republique’s book, the custard is from Tarts Anon’s eggnog custard, replaced the brandy with dark rum instead.

I love custard tarts, but I hate to keep having egg whites and have to figure out how to use them.

    Which tart was your favorite to eat?

    I have a neglected tart pan. I should dig it out and bake something.

    Amazing. My tarts in those tins always slide down even with pie weights and in short, look ugly. I had to switch to perforated tart rings. What’s your secret? Or maybe it’s the recipe?

    I really want to try the pandan one! I love those flavors. Great job!

    These look unbelievable. I am in awe of your tart shells, I suck at rolling out pastry and even worse at trying to get the pastry into the pans without it shrinking and sliding down the sides. Well done!

    Maybe you could make a key lime or other tart and use the egg whites to make meringue!
