Ingredients for 6 parts
- 50 g. eggs
- 125 g. butter
- 1 g. sea salt
- 210 g. flour
- 35 g. powdered sugar
- 210 g. cream
- 25 g. almonds
- 260 g. dark chocolate 70%
- 100 g. milk chocolate
Steps
- Prepare the shortbread dough: Mix the almond powder, icing sugar, flour, salt and the butter in pieces in a bowl.
- Sand the mixture to incorporate the butter. Add the beaten egg and mix just enough to incorporate it.
- Roll out the dough thinly between two sheets of parchment paper. Line 8 cm diameter tart rings, pressing the dough firmly. Cut off the excess dough.
- Prick the bottom of the tart with a fork. Place a circle of microwave-safe cellophane paper on each tart shell and fill with flour, packing it down to maintain the shape.
- Close the cellophane paper circles like bundles and let rest in the refrigerator for an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the tart shells with the flour bags for 15 minutes. Remove the flour bags and carefully remove the tart rings. Continue baking for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Prepare the chocolate cream: Melt the chocolates with the liquid cream in the microwave in one-minute increments or in a double boiler. Stir until you have a smooth and shiny cream.
- Fill the tart shells with the chocolate cream. Spread evenly by shaking and gently tapping the tartlets.
- Let cool in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before enjoying.
