Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Crust
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
Ganache filling
1/4 cup hot water
1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
3/4 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons sugar
10 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Using electric mixer, beat butter and sugar in medium bowl until light. Beat in egg. Add flour, baking powder, and salt; beat just until blended. Divide dough among six 3-inch-diameter tartlet pans with 1-inch-high sides and removable bottoms. With floured fingertips, press dough into pans. Refrigerate 1 hour, then freeze 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake tartlets until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Transfer to racks and cool completely.
  • For filling:
  • Mix 1/4 cup hot water and espresso powder in small bowl until espresso dissolves. Bring cream and sugar to simmer in heavy medium saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Add chocolate; stir until melted and smooth. Mix in espresso mixture. Pour hot filling into tartlets. Chill until chocolate sets, at least 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.) Remove tart pan sides from tartlets. Transfer to plates and serve.

These tartlets were a huge disappointment. The ganache was too runny and the pastry crust was too dry.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tartlets didn't turn out as good as the ones in the picture. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These tartlets are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.

I'm not a big fan of ganache, but I loved the espresso ganache in these tartlets. It was the perfect balance of sweet and bitter.

I had a little trouble getting the pastry crust to roll out evenly, but other than that, these tartlets were easy to make.

These tartlets are a bit pricey to make, but they're worth the splurge for a special occasion.

I'm not a huge fan of espresso, but I still really enjoyed these tartlets. The ganache is rich and chocolatey, and the pastry crust is flaky and buttery.

The espresso ganache is so rich and creamy, and it pairs perfectly with the sweet pastry crust.
