Wow, our second recipe for Baking with Julia and it couldn't be more indulgent! This week we have Chocolate Truffle Tartlets which contain chocolate in almost every form.
First, a chocolate pastry made with cocoa. Next comes a decadent truffle filling made with melted dark chocolate, eggs and sugar. Then it's finished off with a smattering of milk and white chocolate pieces. Can anyone say yum?!
Surprisingly these tartlets aren't over the top in sweetness. A big scoop of creamy vanilla icecream was perfect on top. Still wouldn't want to eat too much though.
I made a full batch of pastry but only used about 2/3 of it to make my 4 tartlets (with a half batch of filling). I rolled the remainder of the pastry out and baked some little biscuits with it. Hubby was a big fan of the tartlets and my 2 littlest taste testers couldn't get enough of the pastry!
Our hosts this week are Steph, Spike, Jaime and Jessica. Thanks for a great pick! You can find the recipe on their blogs under today's date.
Beautiful presentation!

ReplyDeleteI hit send too quickly - but loved your shot of the tart. I have been using this recipe for the chocolate dough for awhile now. Good in all sorts of things!
ReplyDeleteNice work! I totally loved this recipe as well and was delighted that it was not as difficult as I imagined!
ReplyDeleteOoh, ice cream on top sounds great! Cute little tarts!
ReplyDeleteI used the dough to make cookies as well. I wasn't a big fan of the tartlets but the dough was so good I couldn't bear to throw it out! I'm starting to get the feeling that ice cream would have improved the experience, though.
