You'd think by my age I would have made a tart before. But no, never until this past week.
I found this recipe in the latest edition of Yankee Magazine and it sounded so easy and delicious that I wanted to make it. The problem was I had no tart pan. I went looking at several area stores to no avail so I settled on ordering from Pampered Chef at the beginning of February. Several weeks went by and despite getting notification that it shipped on the 5th, it didn't show up. I finally emailed customer service and their response was "It must have gotten lost in shipping. We'll send another one." It arrived on Wednesday the 25th in enough time for me to make this recipe to take to friends' house on the 28th.
It was a big hit!
If you've ever bitten into a chocolate candy with the inside flavored with orange, that's was this tastes like. The mandarin orange zest is what gives it the distinctive flavor.
And it was incredibly easy to make.
I'll be on the lookout for more tart recipes - send one if you have one - to use this tart pan again.

...I once made a tart once, but it wasn't this fancy!
I don't think I've ever made a tart either! Well done you!
I might have met a few tarts in my day, but I have never made one!
Patrick has a metal tart pan and has made an apple one in it. Since we have the latest Yankee magazine and the pan, this recipe might be a future dessert and sharing with others definitely cuts down on the calories!
That looks like a delicious tart! Chocolate and orange are a wonderful combination. I've made a lemon tart in the past, maybe it's time to do so again!
That looks like something from Gourmet magazine! Well done!
And that line, bang on the counter! So funny, but perfectly descriptive and practical.
