Steps:
- For crusts:
- Blend flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add butter and ginger and process using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add ice water and blend until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball and divide into 2 pieces. Flatten each into disk and wrap in plastic. Chill until firm, about 1 hour. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)

Transfer to rack. Immediately spoon 1/2 tablespoon preserves over bottom of each crust. Cool completely. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
- For custard:
- Bring cream to simmer in heavy medium saucepan. Remove from heat, add white chocolate and whisk until melted. Whisk yolks and vanilla in medium bowl. Slowly whisk cream mixture into yolks to blend well. Divide custard between crusts. Bake tartlets until center is just set, about 20 minutes. Cool on rack. Chill tartlets overnight.

Yield Makes 6 servings
Number Of Ingredients 16
Steps:
- for crust:
- Blend first 4 ingredients in processor until nuts are finely ground. Add butter; cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 2 tablespoons ice water and vanilla; process until moist clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball. Divide into 6 equal pieces. Flatten each into disk. Wrap each in plastic; chill 2 hours. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled. Let dough soften slightly before continuing.)
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Press 1 dough disk evenly onto bottom and up sides of 4 1/2-inch-diameter tartlet pan with removable bottom. Pierce crust all over with fork. Repeat with remaining 5 dough disks. Freeze crusts until firm, about 20 minutes.
- Bake crusts until golden and baked through, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Immediately sprinkle bittersweet chocolate over bottom of hot crusts, dividing equally. Let stand until chocolate melts, about 5 minutes. Using back of spoon, spread chocolate over bottom of crusts. Chill until chocolate sets, about 10 minutes.
- for filling:
- Stir white chocolate in top of double boiler set over barely simmering water until just melted and smooth. Remove top of double boiler from over water. Cool white chocolate to room temperature. Beat cream and liqueur in medium bowl until soft peaks form. Fold cream mixture into melted white chocolate in 3 additions. Divide filling among tartlet crusts; smooth tops. Chill until filling is set, about 4 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover loosely with foil; keep chilled.)
- Gently toss banana slices and orange juice in bowl. Transfer banana slices to paper towels; pat dry. Alternate banana slices and strawberry slices in circle atop tartlets, overlapping. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Chill.)
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The quality of your chocolate will greatly impact the flavor of your tartlets. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Temper your chocolate. Tempering your chocolate will help it set smoothly and give it a glossy finish. To temper chocolate, melt it slowly and then cool it down quickly.
- Use a tartlet pan with removable bottoms. This will make it easy to remove the tartlets from the pan once they are baked.
- Prick the bottom of the tart shells with a fork before baking. This will help to prevent them from puffing up.
- Bake the tart shells until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the tart shells cool completely before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from melting.
- Use a variety of fillings for your tartlets. You can use anything from chocolate mousse to fruit curd to ice cream.
- Decorate your tartlets with your favorite toppings. You can use anything from chocolate shavings to whipped cream to fresh fruit.
Conclusion:
Chocolate tartlets are a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make delicious chocolate tartlets at home. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
