Decadent Peanut Butter Chocolate Tartlets
These tartlets consist of a flaky crust filled with a rich peanut butter filling and topped with a glossy chocolate ganache. The recipe yields about 12 tartlets and takes approximately 1 hour to prepare and bake.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg yolk
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Make the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the egg yolk and mix until the dough comes together. Press the dough into tartlet pans and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the Crust: Bake the chilled crusts for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling: In a bowl, mix together peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spoon the mixture into the cooled tartlet crusts, filling them about 3/4 full.
- Bake Again: Return the tartlets to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes until set. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Make the Chocolate Ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just boiling. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Assemble the Tartlets: Pour the chocolate ganache over the cooled peanut butter filling, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
- Serve: Once set, remove the tartlets from the pans and serve chilled or at room temperature.
