Sugar Rush: Pistachio Apricot Tart from Bouchon Bakery

This pistachio apricot tart from Bouchon Bakery is more cake than tart, but I'm not complaining. It is supermoist, superdense, and super pistachio-y. Upon being sliced, the "tart" oozes a filling of thick apricot slices. The slippery, apricot insides and the crumbly outsides make for great textural contrast and happily mingling flavors.

Their Bouchons, fat little chocolate cylinders with a sprinkling of confectioner's sugar, may be the best way I've found of soothing a dessert craving with something small and not wildly caloric. They are dense and cakey and not overly sweet, and you think they are going to taste like a tiny brownie, but somehow they don't. Eat them in small bites, and you'll feel happily satisfied. They don't even cost very much!

its gone forever! replaced by the mixed berry tart....
