White Chocolate Fruit Tart
Pretty easy to make and fun to assemble. It tasted very good but very rich... I'd say this is a SPECIAL OCCASION desert. Again, very rich. The only part I think needs improving is the crust. Yes, it doesn't go soggy which is great... but this crust is more like a shortbread and doesn't brown in the time suggested. Maybe I needed a darker pan? The filling is yummy.

Fruit Pizza
My First time trying Fruit Pizza. This was a very easy recipe. And I had a nice result... the pizza looked great. I cut the slices before adding the creme and fruit. My family liked it but it was too sweet for me.

Garbanzo Bean Chocolate Cake (Gluten Free!)
Nice chocolate taste. Problem with mine was I don't have a food processor so I mashed the beans by hand. As hard as I tried there were still tiny chunks of garbanzo beans. So the texture was way off in my cake...... If I try again, I will use a softer bean (pinto or black beans). I've made cakes with them before, and those have always mashed into the right consistency.
