Waiter, there's something in my... strawberry tart


This mounth i decided that i would participate in a blog event so, as i have verry little time to make things latly because of the tests coming (end of school year here is december) it had to be something that would be easy but at the same time pleassing... so when i saw the theme of this mounth Waiter there's something in my... i just knew it was it!!! Topless tart!! I have been wanting to try this for white a while and this was perfect...


The recipe was something mad up, because, well, lets just say the i wanted a varity of berrys and all i could find was strawberrys.. so i had to be pleased with that.... no time to go somewhere to look for something else... (i just really hat not having time to cook/bake thank god vacations are almost here!!)


So... the recipe is simple a crust made with wafers, the crust i got from a friend that has no ideia from where she got it but it just sounded delicius... chocolat wafers, nuts and cinnamon.. well it just had to be good... and it really was good... and for the filling a white chocolate ganache made with strawberry juice... in the end i tought the looks wasen't that great.. but it tasted very good...
