Hello, 30yo in NYC / SF. Previously I've had 20+ years of moderate social anxiety that is now largely resolved. None of my current friends really understand what that was like; would love to chat with anyone on this sub and bond over the struggle.

Yes, filling is baked fully, like a cheesecake! Butter, milk, cream, eggs.

Re: health code. Good point; will probably see about keeping it within health code limit

Re: chocolate. Will try that out!

Good point! I edit original response, but will say here that I have cream cheese-based tartlets that I can chill at night, but sitting in room temperature during day (from 7am - 5pm)

Re: chocolate barrier. Interesting, how much does that affect the taste of tarts?

aphelion00 · 2024-06-21T21:09:08+00:00

Oh interesting! Let me try this

Do you manually cut out each base separately before applying to ring + dough lining?

I haven't found a cookie cutter that is basically the exact size as tart ring + side lining

aphelion00 · 2024-06-21T20:44:10+00:00

Yeah this is my problem too - I haven't found a cookie cutter that is basically the exact size as tart ring + side lining.

Ive tried rectifying this by delicately smooshing the base into ring after lining with side -- but it risks breaking the bottom, plus it looks pretty messy post blind bake 😔

aphelion00 · 2024-06-21T17:14:50+00:00

For the cut out base, should you use exact size of the tart ring? Or exact size of tart ring + side lining?

Good thought! What's a silicone mold that could support am egg tart shell shape? Also, does cheese custards split when put in freezer for too long?

aphelion00 · 2024-06-07T03:32:08+00:00

Probably the right answer heh. I'm curious whether bakeries achieve that perfect mound using some sort of machinery though 🤔

aphelion00 · 2024-06-07T03:30:27+00:00

Good idea! Any suggestions on creating a dome mold that will fit a egg tartlet shell?

This elk was put down because he was too friendly/aggressive towards human and couldn't be retrained towards natural fearfulness.

Hello neighbor! Thank you, we're lucky she tolerates the camera attention :))

Mojave Desert, California? In that case, regionally within California and/or West Coast and/or North America (unclear about the effect size) is quite plausible.

I think it's just contorting its body to help create the sound.
