Ingredients
Scale
For the crust
- 2.8 oz (80 g) butter cookies (Petit Beurre)
- 5 tbsp melted butter
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
For the ganache:
- 2.1 oz (60 g) dark chocolate
- 1 tsp finely grated orange zest
- 0.13 cups (30 ml) heavy cream
- if you wish: candied ginger, orange or some other fruit
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Crush the butter cookies into fine crumbs and combine with cinnamon, powdered sugar, and melted butter.
- Press the mixture firmly into tiny tart molds to form the crust.
- Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and let them cool completely.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it is just about to boil. Remove from heat immediately.
- Add the dark chocolate to the hot cream and let it sit for a minute to melt, then stir until smooth and glossy.
- Stir in the finely grated orange zest into the chocolate ganache.
- Pour the ganache into the cooled tart crusts and let them set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until firm.
Notes
Make sure the tart crusts are completely cool before adding the ganache to prevent melting. You can store the tartlets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For a different flavor, try substituting the orange zest with lemon zest.
