Mini Chocolate and Cinnamon Tarts

Written by Published on Updated on February 25, 2020 in Uncategorized

Hi there foodies friends,

It is almost time for the Food Bloggers Summit and I am very excited because this will the first one I will be attending.  I decided to attend the Summit because even though I have been blogging for about 2 1/2 years, I still do need to learn more about Food Blogging. There is so much more to learn and do,  and since this is something that I am so passionate about I am definitely going to take Food Blogging/my site to a different level. 🙂  

Well, I did it I got my TESOL certificate…it took me a couple of months of studying and it was worth it.  TESOL stands for Teaching English to Speakers of other languages. 🙂  Yep, I am definitely proud of myself and believe me this is something I would never usually say about myself.  This past week was also quite a difficult one.  Let’s just say that  Charlie definitely showed us that he will step in and take action!!!   I will write more about this in my next posts but for now, I will just leave it at what Charlie did.  

I had prepared these delicious Mini-Tarts a few days ago. But with everything that has happened I was late posting the recipe.  What I like about these Chocolate Tarts is that the added Cinnamon just gave the Ganache a unique taste.  I was not able to make my own Crust this time.  But in all honesty, I wasn’t in the mood to mix batter and then roll out the dough etc.  I bought ready-made Crust from the supermarket.  I knowwww!! !I cheated but as you already know I usually make my own, but not this time. 🙂 

Enjoy your day!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    Oooo the Food Bloggers Summit should be amazing - what date is that? Congratulations on the TESOL!! We have something similar here - TEFL. So many letter combinations to remember 😂 You should absolutely be very proud, it’s a fantastic achievement! Ready-made crust doesn’t count as a cheat when you’ve made the rest yourself. These sounds delicious and more straightforward than I thought (I’ve never made tarts before!) I assume the cream like a pot of double cream. I get confused with ‘cup’ sizes as I never really know how much to use because you don’t know the size of the cup being referred to. In the UK recipes are usually in grams but whenever I see a cup measurement I can’t help but think “You’ve not seen the size of my cups!” 😂 Mmmm chocolately heaven. Caz xx

    I might have bruised my nose trying to take a bite of these through my screen. These sound delicious, and I was thinking, just for testing sake of course, I might make 2 batches. One with the cinnamon, one without. That way if I don't like the cinnamon added I still have just plain chocolate ones. Of course, we will eat them all because we wouldn't want to waste them hahahaha ;) :) You deserve to be proud about your certification. Thats a lot of hard work and you did it!!!! You deserve a pat on the back, AND a(couple)chocolate cinnamon tarts :) :)
