Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

crust
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted, husked
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons (or more) ice water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
filling
6 ounces good-quality white chocolate (such as Lindt or Baker's), finely chopped
3/4 cup chilled whipping cream
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur
2 medium bananas, peeled, thinly sliced
1/4 cup orange juice
1 1-pint basket strawberries

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.)

These were a complete disaster! The crust was burnt and the filling was curdled. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tartlets didn't turn out very well. The crust was too hard and the filling was too runny.

The filling was a bit too runny for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try again with a different recipe for the filling.

I'm not usually a fan of white chocolate, but these tartlets were surprisingly good. The filling was rich and creamy, and the strawberries and bananas added a nice tartness. The crust was also very good.

These white chocolate tartlets were a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of sweet white chocolate, tangy strawberries, and creamy bananas was divine. The crust was perfectly flaky and buttery. I'll definitely be making these again soon!
