It’s back to school, or back to work for most of you in the Northern hemisphere.
I’m happy this year, I’m not following the massive French move of vacationers ! Now, everything is upside down.
Anyway, I had homework to do and I just procrastinated, like if I would be on holiday also… So it came back to me, and that’s part of the reason I did not post this week.
I thought these little sweets would be a good way to forgive my lack of post…
These tiny tartlets are easy and quickly made. I did them with the emblematic kiwifruit –Zespri to be more accurate. To balance kiwifruit acidity, I simply made a banana purée.
Useless to say that you can do them with your own favorite or seasonal fruits or do a savory version, for an apéritif.
I was hesitating to post the recipe as I guess everybody have already made tart in his life, but just in case…
