Ingredients
- 36 store bought mini tart cases (Or 320g/11oz package store bought shortcrust pastry)
- 300 ml double cream (heavy cream)
- 300 g dark chocolate chopped (1 ⅔ cups chopped or chips)
- 5 tablespoons caster sugar
- 50 g butter cut into small cubes, ⅓ stick.
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- 3 tablespoons salted caramel sauce
Instructions
If not using pre-made pastry cases:
- Preheat oven to 200ºC/400F. Lightly grease the cups of a mini muffin tin.
- Roll the dough out thinly on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into discs slightly larger than the diameter of the muffin cups. Gently press each one into the muffin tin. Prick the bases with a fork a few times then leave to rest in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until slightly golden. Allow to cool completely.
Cup of Yum
For the mini chocolate tarts
- Place a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Add the cream, chocolate, sugar, butter and vanilla. Stir until it all melts together and becomes glossy and smooth.
- Pour into the pastry cases and gently tap to level and remove any air bubbles.
- Allow to cool slightly, then refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Drizzle the tarts with salted caramel sauce, then sprinkle with a little flaky sea salt.
