Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

Crust
1/3 cup sliced almonds (about 1 1/4 ounces)
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 large egg
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
Filling
6 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
4 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons all purpose flour
Pink Peppercorn Ice Cream

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Using on/off turns, finely grind almonds in processor. Transfer ground almonds to small bowl. Add butter and sugar to processor; blend until smooth. Blend in egg. Add ground almonds, flour, and salt; using on/off turns, process just to blend. Gather dough into ball and flatten into disk. Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate overnight. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
  • Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Using 5-inch-diameter plate or bowl as guide, cut out rounds. Gather dough scraps and repeat to form 8 rounds total. Press each dough round over bottom and up sides of 4 1/4- to 4 1/2-inch-diameter by 3/4-inch-high tartlet pan with removable bottom. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange tartlet pans on large rimmed baking sheet. Bake crusts until golden brown around edges, pressing with back of fork if crusts bubble, about 20 minutes. Cool crusts 10 minutes.
  • For filling:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Stir chocolate and butter in double boiler over barely simmering water until melted and smooth; cool slightly. Beat eggs and sugar in large bowl to blend. Fold chocolate mixture into egg mixture. Fold in flour.
  • Divide filling among crusts. Bake tarts on baking sheet until filling is puffed and set, about 13 minutes. Cool slightly. Remove tartlet pan sides. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool completely in pans. Cover tarts with foil. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm on sheet in 350°F oven 5 minutes.)
  • Serve tarts warm with Pink Peppercorn Ice Cream.
