Nutella Tartlets
- FOR THE SHORTBREAD CRUST:
- 2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Cut Into Little Cubes
- 1 Large Egg, Lightly Beaten
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Chilled Heavy Cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- FOR THE NUTELLA GANACHE:
- 1 cup Nutella
- 4 ounces, weight Good Quality Chocolate
- 1/2 cups Heavy Cream
- Chopped Hazelnuts, However Many To Decorate The Tops
- For the crust:
- Preheat oven to 300 F.
- In a food processor, combine the flour, butter, egg, sugar, heavy cream and salt and pulse until the dough gathers into big clumps. Put the dough on a clean work surface that is lightly floured and gather it together. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough until it is around 1/4 of an inch thick.
- You can use whatever size tart pans you like, piccolo, medio or grande (2x2-inch mini tartlet pans, medium 5 inch pans or a large 8x8-inch pan). Press the tart pans into the dough, using the edge of the tart pans to cut the dough, then firmly press dough into the pan.
- Put the pans into the oven on 300 F and cook for 6 minutes. They will not be completely done, but you will be baking them again when filled with the Nutella. Now prepare your Nutella ganache.
- Put the Nutella and chocolate in a small mixing bowl.
- Bring the heavy cream to a simmer in a saucepan. Pour the hot cream over the Nutella and chocolate and mix until silky and smooth.
- Now get the par-baked tart/tartlet crusts and carefully spoon the Nutella mixture into the crust. Put the pans back in the oven on 300 F and bake for another 6 minutes. Take them out of the oven and add some chopped hazelnuts to top of the tarts. Boun appetito!
