Gianduia Tartlets
- hazelnut pastry dough
- 3 ounces fine-quality milk chocolate
- 3 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened)
- 1 cup unsweetened hazelnut butter
- 3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 whole large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Form dough into twenty-five 1 1/2-inch balls.
- Put each ball into a 2 1/2- by 1-inch fluted mold.
- Press dough against bottoms and sides of molds to form even 1/8-inch-thick shells and trim any overhang.
- Arrange molds in a baking pan and chill while making filling.
- Chop chocolates into small pieces and melt in a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth.
- Remove top of double boiler or bowl from heat and stir in hazelnut butter until combined well.
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add whole egg and milk and beat well.
- Add chocolate mixture and at low speed beat until just combined (mixture will thicken slightly).
- Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons filling into each shell and bake tartlets in baking pan in middle of oven 20 to 25 minutes, or until filling is set and pastry is golden.
- Cool tartlets in molds on a rack until cool enough to handle and with tip of a small knife gently remove tartlets from molds.
- Tartlets keep, in one layer in airtight containers at room temperature, 3 days.
