Espresso, mascarpone, tart. Yes please. I sent my husband to our local Italian market for Savoiardi Lady Fingers and mascarpone, he came back successful for both. After reviewing those that had already baked this tart, I decided to go with Dorie’s regular sweet tart dough. The tiramisu filling for this tart uses eggs that will…

Melody Cookies
According to Dorie Melody Cookies were a big hit in the 60s from Nabisco but by 1970 had disappeared. This cookie phenomenon was before my time so I was not aware of what I was missing. These cookies came out as promised; very chocolaty and with a nice snap. Dorie recommends Valrhona dark cocoa but…
Cat’s Tongues
“Cat’s Tongues are long, thin oval-shaped cookies that are characteristically browned around the edges and paler at the center.” When I read Dorie’s Bonne Idee for this cookie, Milano-ish sandwich cookies with a chocolate ganache I knew I would make that version. These cookies are quite easy with butter, sugar, salt, vanilla, egg whites and…
Vanilla Polka Dots
When I saw these Vanilla Polka Dots come up for nomination on Tuesdays with Dorie, I knew I needed to start hunting for pearl sugar. This group made another recipe with pearl sugar but I forgot which recipe and I was unable to find it. This time I was determined to get the right ingredient….
Mascarpone Mousse
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…
Fudgy Mocha Bars
Brownies are a beloved dessert in my house but sans nuts please. We eagerly looked forward to our latest baking assignment. These fudgy mocha bars are loaded with chocolate including cocoa powder and 6 ounces of chopped semi-sweet chocolate with a hint of coffee. The crispy top was my favorite part. And there is only…
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…
Triscuity Bites
Tuesdays with Dorie is back to the cocktail section of Dorie’s Cookies. These Triscuity Bites are made with you guessed it Triscuits. I had a bit of trouble finding the original flavor as the company has recently revamped their packaging. These savory bites are made with cream cheese and butter for richness, the crunch comes…
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,…
