Poached Pear and Almond Tart

Bosc pears are poached in white wine and warm, autumn spices – clove, cinnamon, and vanilla – until transluscent, then nestled in a thick layer of frangipane (sweet almond custard) in this perfect-for-fall tart. I’d never made anything with frangipane before and now I want to make everything with it. Creamy, nutty, delicious.

Dessert Tacos with Chocolate Mousse

Sweet, cinnamon flavored taco shells filled with my Bourbon Chocolate Mousse accompanied by a fresh mango salsa. These dessert tacos are not any sort of authentic Mexican dessert, but with cinnamon sugar and chili powder warming up the mousse, the flavors are reminiscent of fresh churros and Mexican chocolate.
