Fresh Fruit and Lemon Tarts La Farine's fruit tarts are a combination of tradition and whimsy--we start with a classic, flaky pastry, add a delicious crème pattisiere and finish each tart with a kaleidoscope of fresh, seasonal fruit. Each tart is a celebration of flavor and texture...and a visual feast as well! La Farine makes 8" tarts and 3" tartlettes--the former feeds 8 while the tartlettes are perfect for individual desserts. And for special occasions, where multiple small tartlettes are a good choice, we make fruit "boats"-small, individual pastry boats with crème pattisiere and fruit designed to wow your guests. For those in search of the classic lemon tart, La Farine's lemon tart and tartlettes are certain to please. They feature a zingy, light lemon custard baked in our classic tart shell...a perfect light finish to a meal. Baked and Poached Fruit Tarts and Galettes La Farine also makes a variety of baked and poached fruit tarts, from the classic Baked Apple Tart (with caramelized Granny Smith apples) to our fall classic, the poached pear tart (DAnjou pears poached in red wine with sugar and vanilla bean). This variety of tart features baked or poached fruit arranged on a pastry with pastry cream, or can feature fruit actually baked in a light custard (Pear-Ginger Tart or Baked Pear Tart). Our Galettes are rustic fruit tarts baked in our classic tart pastry and filled with a variety of seasonal fruits (our Cranberry-Apple Galette is a favorite from Thanksgiving through Christmas). They do not have pastry creme so are perfect for those seeking a lighter dessert. Nut Tarts La Farine's nut tarts are as inviting as its fruit tarts, and as decadent. Featured year-round are the Almond Tart (crunchy, caramelized almonds baked in a pastry shell) and the Hazelnut Truffle Tart (Toasted Hazelnuts in a chocolate-truffle filling that's baked in our Victoria Tart shell). Once the fall and winter season kicks in, we pull out the Pecan Butter Rum tart and our classic Linzer Torte (Hazelnut shortbread pastry with homemade raspberry jam). And during the Christmas season we offer our Engadiner Nussnorte (a caramelized walnut filling inside a decorative pastry). So whatever the occasion, La Farine has a tart for you. Please stop by the store and feast your eyes, or give us a call to order the best tart in town!
