I find that the more free time I have, the less I update. This is more of a procrastination for me. Right now my life consists of a series of "small" meals and naps. That's it. If you know me you'll know that this is hell for me. Sleeping and eating -- it's meaningless. Give me an essay, a project, a deadline, and see how stressed and happy I am as I update Happy Belly on a daily basis.
I suddenly felt like updating because of this overwhelming feeling of guilt that has been building up in me -- it's been almost a week! it's never been that long! I was reading my two best friends' blog, and I thought ok, I need to do something. My best friends are currently doing a road trip around the US, go to the link for some humorous accounts and there's a food section in every post :D
Other than having nothing to do, I'm also not cooking that much because a)I'm in Italy and I'm basically living off deli foods [200g parma prosciutto 3 euros, yup] and b) I'm in a 50-year-old house with a 50-year-old kitchen and nothing really works, especially the oven.
So here's a no-bake berry tart. Perfect for the summer. Enjoy.
Ingredients
1 portion of basic creme patisserie
1 1/2 cup mixed berries
1 cup ginger biscuits
6 tbsp melted butter
Method
Put the biscuits in a food processor and whizz until it becomes crumbs. Mix thoroughly with butter and press firmly into a pie plate. Put it in the freezer for at least an hour. When firm, spread the creme patisserie in the crust and top with mixed berries.
