Strawberry and hazelnut torte.

Very much looking forward to next weekend, which we have been planning for months, ever since Jana booked her tickets to Bristol. Jedrus and Aska are coming too, there will be mojitos and pulled pork( if I can pull it off) and for dessert perhaps this one.

Very nice nutty pastry- 140 g of plain flour, 50 g of ground hazelnuts, 100 g butter, all blitzed to the texture of breadcrumbs, then 50 g of sugar and an egg yolk. Kneaded into a nice pastry, slightly chilled and baked under the beans for about 15 minutes in 190 degrees, then another 5-7 minus the beans. When cooled, I filled it with a mixture of whipped cream and Philadelphia, flavoured with icing sugar and lemon juice. Chopped strawberries into the mix, more strawberries on top, as well as chopped and toasted hazelnuts. And just a drizzle of chocolate. Nice. 🙂
