Yield Makes five 5-inch tarts

Number Of Ingredients 12

Vegetable oil cooking spray, for pan
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
10 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Meringue Hearts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Make the tart shells: Coat five 5-inch heart-shaped tart pans with cooking spray. Whisk together flour, cocoa, and salt.
  • Beat butter with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add sugar, and beat until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Add vanilla and flour mixture, and mix until dough just begins to hold together, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn out dough onto plastic wrap, wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut dough into 5 equal pieces, and press into bottom and up sides of prepared tart pans. Using a sharp paring knife, trim excess dough flush with edges of pans. Patch any tears. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Bake tart shells on a rimmed baking sheet until firm, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely on wire racks.
  • Make the ganache filling: Place chocolate in a bowl. Heat cream and milk in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until almost boiling; pour over chocolate. Let stand for 2 minutes. Slowly whisk until smooth. Let stand 10 minutes more. Stir in egg. Return tart shells to baking sheet, and pour in filling. Bake until just set, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely before removing from pans. Decorate with meringue hearts.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but these tartlets were surprisingly good. The ganache filling was rich and decadent, but not too sweet. The tart shells were also very flaky and buttery.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tartlets didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The ganache filling was too runny, and the tart shells were too thick. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The tart shells were a bit too crumbly for my liking, but the ganache filling was divine. I will definitely be making these again, but I will use a different tart shell recipe.

These tartlets were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I would use less sugar next time.
