Chocolate Orange Tartlets
- 1 None sheet frozen pie pastry, partially thawed
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup cream
- 5.25 oz dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp butter, chopped
- 2 tsp orange liqueur
- 1 1/3 cups sugar
- 1 None large orange, rind removed with a zester in long thin strips
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0F. Grease a 12-hole round-based patty pan tray.
- Cut pastry sheet in half. Sift half the powdered sugar over one half of the pastry. Place remaining pastry half on top and sift over remaining powdered sugar.
- Roll up pastry tightly from short side. Cut log into 12 slices. Freeze pastry slices for 10 mins. Roll each pastry slice between two sheets of parchment paper until roughly 3 inches in diameter. Using a 2 3/4" cutter, cut a perfect circle out of each rounds. Place pastry rounds in patty pan holes, gently pressing to fit. Freeze in tray for 10 mins.
- Bake on bottom rack of oven for about 12 mins, then move to middle rack for another 3 mins or until browned lightly.
- Place cream, chocolate, butter and liqueur in a small heatproof bowl. Place bowl over a pan of just simmering water, stirring occasionally, for about 5 mins or until just melted and smooth. Remove bowl from saucepan and set aside until cooled and thickened.
- Meanwhile, combine the sugar and 1/4 cup water in a very small pan and cook, stirring, over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Add orange rind and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 7 mins or until rind is translucent and syrup is slightly thickened. Cool.
- Divide chocolate mixture among crusts. Just before serving, strain candied orange rind and use to decorate tartlets.
