Chocolate Ganache Tartlets


Chocolate Ganache Tartlets

A tart is a baked dish consisting of a filling over a pastry base with an open top not covered with pastry.Yes, I read it from Wiki. :) In this recipe I will be using some chocolate ganache as a filling over this tartlet crusts that I am going to make. Please consider sending me an email if you have any suggestions for this recipe. 

Ingredients
2 cups of All-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup corn starch
100 grams of softened and unsalted butter
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of vanilla syrup
1 whole egg

Key Tools:
Tart/Tarlet shells
Balloon whisk
Fork
Mixing bowl
Cling wrap

Procedure:

1. Mix brown and white sugar in a mixing bowl then add softened butter. Cream then all together using a fork. 
2. Once the butter and sugars are creamed, add in 1 whole egg, a teaspoon of vanilla and 1/2 cup of corn starch then mix them all together. 
3. Once the above ingredients are thoroughly mixed, gradually add in the all-purpose flour. Gradually mixing in the flour will make it easier for you to avoid lumps.
4. Continue mixing until you are done with all the flours.  The targeted consistency is like into a cookie dough or a wet beach sand.
5. After mixing, transfer the dough into a cling wrap and wrap it tightly forming a rectangular shape which is half an inch thick.
6. Freeze the wrapped dough for a minimum of 25 minutes or until you are ready to use it.
7. Once frozen and firmed, unwrap the dough over a lightly-floured surface or a board and cut the dough in half.
8. Roll the dough into a quarter of an inch thick and use your best tool to cut it into a circle or according to the size and shape of your tart/tartlet shells. 
9. Lay in the shaped dough inside the shells forming a tart crust.
10. Do procedure 9 with all the shells you got and preheat the oven at 180 degrees Celsius.
11. Bake the tart or tartlets for 15-20 minutes or until they turn into light-golden brown. 
12. Cool them down after baking until they are cold enough to handle. Take the tart crusts off the shells and fill with your desired fillings. I will use chocolate ganache for this one. You may use fruits, jams, creams etc.
