Instructions

How to Make Chocolate Hazelnut Tartlets

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the cold butter cubes to the dry mix and blend until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Stir in the egg yolk, then gradually add cold water until the dough comes together.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  • Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick and cut into circles.
  • Prick the bottoms of each tartlet shell with a fork and bake for 12–15 minutes.
  • Heat the heavy cream over medium heat until simmering.
  • Combine hazelnut spread, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract; pour hot cream over it and stir until smooth.
  • Spoon the chocolate hazelnut filling into the cooled tartlet shells.
  • Refrigerate the filled tartlets for at least 1 hour to set.
  • Sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts before serving.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Use very cold butter for the best flaky crust. Avoid overworking the dough once water is added.
