It was with trepidation I made this weeks baking assignment for Tuesdays with Dorie. My husband told me he really doesn’t like mascarpone. My fears were unfounded as this was a hit with the whole family. It was light, airy and not too sweet. My husband picked strawberries as the fruit accompaniment which went together…

Roasted Rhubarb
When I think of roasted rhubarb, it reminds me of Knott’s Berry Farm chicken dinner. The only time I ever ate rhubarb in a dish growing up was at Knott’s Berry Farm, Dorie has provided us with the French version in Baking Chez Moi. Since the Angostura bitters were optional I decided to leave them…
Brioche Ice Cream Sandwiches
When I voted for this one, I fully had intended to make all the components but of course that did not happen. I used store bought ice cream and brioche bread but I did make the caramel sauce! These were a crowd pleaser. My son said he couldn’t wait to eat another one. I thought…
Pistachio and Raspberry Financiers
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making our last financiers from Baking Chez Moi. These mini cakes were new to me until I joined this group. We enjoyed the previous recipes Macha Financiers and Cowgirl Cornmeal-Pecan Financiers. These Pistachio and Raspberry Financiers were no exception in the like category. Financiers need planning ahead,…
Crackle-Top Cream Puffs
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi My fantastic husband was the baker this week, a migraine headache derailed my baking day. I had made the crackle top and it was ready in the freezer. My husband successfully made the cream puffs and he was pretty proud of himself. He made a pastry cream filling, not…
Cookies-and-Cream Tartlets
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi This was the perfect dessert to top off our Mother’s Day dinner. As I was making these, my husband watched me cut little squares of foil to cover the six tartlets and he said “it would be much easier to make one big one”. He is right it would…
Double-Chocolate Marble Cake
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi This double chocolate cake contains both white chocolate and bittersweet chocolate. This is a very decadent cake with butter, eggs, whole milk, and two kinds of chocolate. My husband could not stop eating it. I think this is another winner in our house. I got thumbs up from my…
Banana-Chocolate Chaussons
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi A month of Chaussons I had the opportunity to make both chaussons; banana-chocolate and apple. At the beginning of the month I had an abundance of bananas so I made the banana-chocolate ones first. I put the optional Nutella in half of them. I forgot to put the butter…
Toasted Buckwheat and Chopped Chocolate Sables
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi In the past, Sables have been a crowd pleaser cookie in our house so I was pretty sure we were going to like these. This is the first recipe in which I had to toast flour. My son complained of the smell the entire time, an unintended consequence. My…
Dark Chocolate Mousse
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi Dorie states this recipe came from Pierre Herme and it’s a pro’s recipe. Boy, is she right and I met my match with this one. For Valentine’s Day I received a new candy thermometer which might seem like a weird gift but I was happy! Now I could tackle…
