Chocolate ganache tartlets - -12/31/13

These tartlets are really easy to make.  There are only a few ingredients and you probably have them in our pantry.  The crust takes a bit of time but it is worth all the effort and it is crunchy and really delicious.

I made these tartlets and brought them to a New year's party and they were a hit.

 

I let the tartlets come back to room temperature so the chocolate ganache was soft, rich and delicious.

Close look at the tartlets.

 

Preparation work..

Yield: 8 tartlets

Ingredients:

For the ganache:

1 cup heavy cream

14 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips

Fresh raspberries

Crust:

1 batch of pâte sucreé

 

 

In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, bring the cream to a simmer.  Remove from the heat and add the chocolate chips.

Stir the chocolate chips in the hot cream and let sit for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.

After  a few minutes the chocolate should be melted.  Stir again and whisk gently until smooth.  Set aside and let it cool down to room temperature.

Take the pâte sucreé dough out of the refrigerator and line your tartlet molds.

Pre-heat oven at 350 degrees and blind bake your shell until golden about 15 to 20 minutes.

Let it cool down to room temperature

Fill your shell with the chocolate mixture.

 

Add the fresh raspberries on top of the chocolate ganache

Put the tartlets in the refrigerator for about 1 hour  until the filling is firm.  You can serve them right away or if you are not ready let the tartlets come back to room temperature.
