Chocolate Tarts
Buttery Chocolate Tart Shells
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.
