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!
