Chocolate Tarts with Ferrero Rocher Mousse recipe
Eggless, Chocolate Tarts made with Whole Wheat Flour and filled with Eggless, Gelatin-free Mousse with Ferrero Rocher
Easy to put up dessert that you can make for your parties and get-togethers or just like that for treating your loved ones.
It's the last day of 2018, and last day for the Bake-A-Thon, a baking event of which I am a part of since last one month. It's been a great experience and learning with some of the wonderful bloggers. Last day of the year started a bit late for us as had potluck party with friends at our place, yesterday evening ended with amazing food and good time spent with everyone!!
I had made Chili Idli, Cajun Potatoes, friends have got Vegan Chili with Garlic Bread, Penne Pasta, and Dry Manchurian. Everyone enjoyed the food and evening.
Desserts for party from the blog, that you can make for a big gathering.. Baklava Rolls, Eggless Blondies, Strawberry Cream, White Chocolate Pudding, Chocolate Pudding, Mango Kalakand in Parle-G Tarts, Mango Mousse , Lamingtons and many more.
Today morning got up to a chilly morning with freezing rain. I had to bake something for the last day of Bake-A-Thon and decided to bake something different for kids!! Last one month I did a lot of cakes like this Light Fruitcake, baked bread (Basil Pesto Bread), savory crackers (Baked Parmesan Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Crackers) etc. and it clicked me that I don't have any post on tarts. I had some Chocolate Ganache left in the refrigerator, a box of Cool Whip and then I knew what special I am making for my sweethearts!!
Chocolate Tarts with Ferrero Rocher Mousse. Making a dessert using Ferrero Rocher was in my mind since the time I saw my fellow blogger Mayuriji's post on Ferrero Rocher Cheesecake. Mayuriji is and an amazing blogger with a lot of experience. She blogs at Mayuri's Jikoni's, do check her blog with wonderful posts..
Coming back to Chocolate Tart and Ferrero Rocher Mousse, I have mentioned the recipes for tarts and mousse separately for my readers' convenience.
Chocolate tart shells can be made 1-2 days ahead and can be used with various mousse, cheesecakes or fruits or custard and pudding fillings.
For Ferrero Rocher mousse, we need chocolate ganache, whipped cream. I used Chocolate Ganache that was leftover after making chocolate truffles. I added 1-2 Tbsp of milk to adjust the consistency of ganache as the ganache used for making Truffles is thicker than used for making a mousse.
For the recipe of Milk Chocolate Ganache refer to my post Milk Chocolate Ganache. Recipe for how make and stabalize Whipped Cream. Do not overmix Ganache and Cream.
Keep the tarts to set in refrigerator and serve.
Pls Note: You can make small bite sized tarts using small tart shells. And can serve Mousse in Phyllo pastry shells or Puff pastry canapes or in shot glasses for individual servings.
Recipe Card
Chocolate Tarts
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Whole Wheat Flour or All purpose Flour
- 1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder
- 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
- 3/4 Cup Butter(Salted)
- 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Essence
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together butter, essence and sugar till smooth. Don't beat till light and fluffy.
- Sift together whole wheat flour/all purpose flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. Add a pinch of salt if using unsalted butter.
- Add to the butter and sugar mix, and mix together till it comes together. Don't over mix it, the crust will become hard.
- Arrange the dough into loose-bottomed tart shells. You can use one big tart pan also. This dough will give you 4 tart shells. If you double the recipe you will get 8 tart shells.
- Keep all the shells in refrigerator for at least half an hour.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325F or 170C. Bake the shells for 10-12 minutes.
- Once baked, take out of the oven, after 2-3 minutes when shells start to cool, take out very carefully and cool completely on a wire rack. Don't try to take the shells out when warm, as these are very soft and can break while taking out.
- Keep in an air-tight container in the refrigerator, till ready to use. These tart shells can be stored for 3-4 days.
Ferrero Rocher Mousse

- 1 Cup Chocolate Ganache
- 1 Cup Whipped Cream or you can use Cool Whip

Notes
Kids loved the addition of Ferrero Rocher to the silken mouse. The Chocolate Tart Shells filled with the silken mousse are ideal make-ahead dessert for your parties and get-togethers. Trust me both the kids and grown-ups will love these.
