250kcal
Ingredients
Tart Crust
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1-2 tablespoons cold water as needed
Chocolate Filling

- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini tartlet pan or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal after baking.
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar in a large bowl.
- Incorporate the cold, cubed butter into your dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers.
- Add the egg yolk to the mixture and stir until combined. If the dough feels too crumbly, add cold water.
- Press the dough into small portions in the tartlet pan and prick the bottom with a fork.
- Bake the tart shells for 10-12 minutes or until set. Let them cool slightly before filling.
Filling
- Heat the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat until hot.
- Mix in the chopped chocolate and let it sit for one minute, then stir until smooth.
- Whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add the chocolate mixture.
- Pour the chocolate fudge filling into the cooled tart shells until about 3/4 full.
- Return the tartlets to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes until the filling is just set.
- Cool the tartlets completely in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Top with powdered sugar or whipped cream and chocolate shavings before serving.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
