Description

Indulge in these irresistible mini chocolate tarts with a buttery crust filled with luscious chocolate ganache, topped with a sprinkle of sea salt or fresh berries for a delightful bite-sized dessert.


Ingredients

Scale

    For the Crust:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
  • 12 tablespoons cold water
  • For the Ganache:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For Garnish (Optional):

  • Flaky sea salt or berries


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Add water gradually to form a dough. Press into tart pans, bake until golden.
  2. Make the Ganache: Heat cream until simmering, pour over chocolate. Let sit, then stir in butter and vanilla until smooth. Fill tart shells with ganache, chill until set.
  3. Garnish and Serve: Top tarts with sea salt, berries, or whipped cream before serving.

Notes

  • You can make the tart shells ahead and store them airtight.
  • Enhance the ganache with espresso powder for a richer flavor.
  • Tarts freeze well for up to a month.
