Black Berry Chamomile Tartelettes
When I saw that these black berries were on “sale” (still expensive but it’s half off the usual price), in the supermarket, It was a joyous moment to finally had them in my trolley 
. At home I couldn’t wait to use it, so I thought what could be better than to use it for a dish for special occassion.
I’ve been enjoying “playing” with scents lately… adore orange blossom, rose water… wanting to use jasmine soon, sad couldn’t find lavender… Anyway, for Dhanggit’s baby I choose chamomile to add “the” extra, It’s been known that it’s very good for babies (small and big ones ), and who doesn’t love fruit tarts ? Just hope she’ll find it perfect for her party

The blackberries are gorgeous, I can understand why you were so happy to find them on sale! The tart you made is adorable and so interesting with the addition of chamomile!
blackberries and chamomile are flavors to die for!! Im so excited to try this tartellette in my kitchen. Im sure my guests will love this!! What a great entry you concocted for my daughter!!
zita, that looks amazing! all your photos are stunning, but this… love the short list of ingredients – can I sub chamomile tea (whizzed, maybe) do you think?
Really interesting/original and surely terribly good! A wonderful and unique flavor combo!
Cheers,
Rosa
@Clumbsy Cookie : Thank you
@Dhanggit : Glad you like it
@Dee : Taste wise I think tou can sub with heavily brewed chamomile tea, but I guess it willl effect the colour of the cream
@Rosa : Cheers to you too
Playing with scents sounds like fun. Could you do a post on the various scents you’ve played around with. Would make a very interesting read. Thanks
Hi Zita – that looks so pretty, and the addition of chamomile powder makes it sound just heavenly. Oh, and the consistency of the cheese looks lovely and creamy…Bravo!
Blackberries are my favourite berries. And who wouldn’t love this fruit tart.
I love blackberries. living here in Vancouver Canada we have blackberry bushes all over the place growing wild. It’s nice to go for a walk and pick great big juice blackberries along the way. You dish looks amazing!
My blackberry canes are loaded- I will definitely give your beautiful tarts a try!
thanks for coming to visit my blog.
