“Aimer et être aimé est le plus grand bonheur.”

 

That phrase is what is etched onto my ring. The silver band says aimer on the outside and et être aimé on the inside. My other band has 48.8704° N 2.3848° E engraved on it, but will we save that for another time. It translates to: to love and be loved is the greatest happiness. I place that ring on the middle finger of my left hand, to place that message for safekeeping. I have had this ring for many years; I have loved it for just as long. A few years back, I would wholeheartedly say that the reciprocal nature of the saying is what made me gravitate towards it. Wearing it for years and having my heart feel different kinds of fullness and heartbreak, my agreeance with this saying has change, though my affinity for it remains the same. Loving is where I find the greatest joy; to find something or someone that makes your heart realize that this right now is the experience most people wait lifetimes for. Something or someone that makes you stop scouring the world because it now feels like there are worlds within you. Now I would say aimer is why I still wear the ring. To love is the greatest privilege. To love in heavy consonants and long vowels. To love in the litany of many little things. To love in the presence of you.

I went berry picking two weeks ago! I was a bit hesitant to go strawberry picking because it was the tail end of strawberry season and when I called the berry farm and they said they could not guarantee that there will be any good berries left. I was keen on going to this specific farm because I knew they served ice cream made with berries from the farm and fresh berry waffles made to order in their cafe. My boyfriend convinced me that even if we don’t get any strawberries, I would still have a great time buying berries from the farm market and enjoy the treats at the farm cafe. So we went out Sunday morning, grabbed some iced coffees for the road, and drove to the berry farm in Langley, BC. It was really hot that day, which I did not really mind because it made the berry ice cream afterwards even more of a treat.

We started our berry picking adventure with some strawberry picking (there were juuuust enough left!), then raspberry picking, and then picking out berries we wanted to buy at the farm market. I was ecstatic when I saw that they were selling red currants at the market because I have been looking for them since last summer! I have always wanted to decorate a cake, a tart, or anything really, with currants ever since seeing them in some cookbooks and online recipes. In addition to the strawberries and raspberries we picked, we bought blueberries, tayberries, cherries, and currants. Oh, we also picked up some berry glazed donuts because it only seemed right to do so. We had the largest corn pizza for lunch and finished off our farm day with a scoop of blueberry ice cream and a scoop of strawberry ice cream nestled in a waffle cone.

This tart was made with all the berries we picked up from the farm. It is a classic pâte sablée tart shell filled with the dreamiest whipped strawberry cream cheese filling. The most luscious and vibrant berries are what makes this tart a real pièce de resistance. This tart would be just as delicious topped with any fruit that is in season. I think ripe peaches with this silky strawberry filling would be a real winner too. The next variation of this tart I am going tot make? Probably a fig and strawberry type of situation. 

Whipped Strawberry Cream Cheese Tart with Berries

Makes 1 nine-inch tart
By Amy

Ingredients

Pâte Sablée

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Whipped Strawberry Cream Cheese Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 150 g cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons strawberry jam
  • 3 tablespoon freeze-dried strawberry powder, optional
  • Berries of choice

Instructions

Pâte Sablée

  • Beat the butter and powdered sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer until creamy.
  • Beat in the egg yolk and mix until fully combined.
  • With the mixer on low speed, beat in the salt and flour just until the dough comes together and there is no more visible flour. Careful not to overmix. Remove dough from the bowl and press the dough into the tart pan, making sure it is evenly distributed (watch out for the edges of the tart pan!). Using a fork, prick the bottom of the tart shell to prevent the bottom from puffing up when baking.
  • Wrap the pan loosely in plastic and chill 30 minutes.
  • Bake the tart shell at 410F or until the crust is golden brown (approximately 15 minutes). Remove carefully from oven and let rest on a wire rack. Let cool completely before filling with whipped cream cheese filling.

Whipped Strawberry Cream Cheese Filling

  • Pour whipping cream into bowl of standing mixer. With the whisk attachment whisk the whipping cream until it becomes fluffy and forms medium peaks. Transfer whipped cream into a different bowl.
  • With a paddle attachment on your mixer, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually add in three tablespoons of strawberry jam and freeze-dried strawberry powder, beat for 2 – 3 minutes. In the same bowl, gently fold in the whipped cream.
  • Fill cooled tart shell with strawberry cream cheese filling. Garnish with fresh berries.
  • Chill tart for 2 – 3 hours before serving.

blueberry lilac no-bake cheesecake ✨ this lilac blueberry lilac no-bake cheesecake ✨

this lilac blueberry cheesecake is made with lilacs from my parents backyard. the base is made with ritz crackers — it’s sweet and salty, yum. the cheesecake uses the same recipe as my no-bake cherry blossom cheesecake but we added some homemade blueberry compote into the cheesecake and jelly layers for flavour and colour.

i love this cheesecake so much because it’s creamy and light, it’s like biting into a cloud. after it has set (i recommend overnight), cut a big slice and enjoy the fleeting lilac season before it slips away.

indoor girlie 🤝 elderflower season i might not indoor girlie 🤝 elderflower season

i might not be the biggest fan of nature, but elderflower season can convince me to spend a good chunk of time rummaging through tall bushes in the middle of the night (read: 1am). i used the lemon ricotta cupcake recipe from my book and topped the cupcakes with swiss meringue buttercream flavoured with a bit of lemon juice and homemade elderflower syrup.
