These adorable tartlets with a dark chocolate crust and a white chocolate ganache with lime zest will delight your taste buds!

Ingredients

Scale

For the chocolate pastry:

  • 3/4 cup (100g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tablespoons (30g) white sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup (30g) cocoa powder, 100% cocoa (if possible Valrhona)
  • 1/3 cup (75g) organic butter, at room temperature
  • 1 large organic egg
  • 1 Tablespoon crème fraîche

For the filling:

  • 1 cup (150g) white chocolate
  • 2,5 dl thick crème fraîche
  • Zests of 1 organic lime
  • 6 raspberries for decoration

Instructions

  1. For the pastry: mix together the flour, sugar, salt and cocoa powder in a large bowl. Stir in the butter (previously cut into chunks) and mix on high very briefly (two or three impulse) until the mix is roughly crumbled. Add the egg and the crème fraîche and mix until the ingredients stick together and form a thick dough. Add more flour if needed.
  2. Put the dough in between two large plastic cling films. Roll a large disk. Remove the film on top and shape six circles of 8-10 cm in diameter, while creating a little space around. Put the cling film on top again. Place the wrapped pastry with the circle’ shapes in a tray and cool in the fridge at least 1hour.
  3. Remove the pastry from the fridge and lay the chocolate circles into the tins previously greased. Bake them in the oven for approx. 15 minutes at 180 °C. Then allow to cool.*
  4. For the filling: melt the white chocolate in a hot-water bath. Add the thick cream (crème fraîche) and stir. The consistency must be smooth and thick. Spread the white chocolate ganache over the dark chocolate tartlets and cool completely in the fridge.
  5. When ready to serve, grate the lime and decorate the tartlets with the zests and and some raspberries.

Notes

* With the remaining chocolate pastry, you can bake delicious funky-shaped biscuits (circles, stars, etc.).
