Over at I heart Faces they are switching it up a bit. This week it is I heart Desserts.
This is by no means a fantastic picture but it is the WORLD’S BEST DESSERT.
This is the raspberry almond tort (flourless) from Gastronomy Restaurants. I love buying a whole tort for special occasions and when we make it to Salt Lake to go to the New Yorker, this dessert is a MUST.
Scott used to be a waiter at the New Yorker, and still knows the chef. I’ve taken a couple of cooking classes from the chef and felt comfortable enough to ask him for the recipe.
He gladly gave it to me.
I tried it.
It turned out like soup.
He realized the custard recipe he gave me wasn’t quite right and sent me to “The Joy of Cooking” and said to use their custard because the custard he uses is a HUGE batch and he’s sure he gave me the wrong recipe.
I tried it again.
It worked.
I still buy it rather than make it. The cost is far less than the time and cost of ingredients for me to make it.
Jump on over to I heart Faces Desserts to see what others think are the BEST desserts.
This looks so tasty!

Thanks for visiting my blog! And yeah…the sad thing is my husband wasn’t all that surprised about it. He ended up taking it out, making sure it was dead and emptying it. Gross. And yes, my family has shared this story more than I like to know about.
That dessert looks amazing!

This looks so gourmet! And yes, definitely go the sprinkle route with the truffles–so much easier. Totally unrelated to desserts, I noticed on your profile that your location is Lehi, UT, so I just have to share that my aunt and uncle live there . . . Charles and Paula Heaton. He’s a vet in Lehi.
