Chocolate Cherry Tarts
Chocolate Cherry Tarts are made with short crust dough. The filling is chocolate ganache truffle with Cherry Pie Filling. Chocolate and cherry is a delicious combination and deserves to be eaten more often.
Servings: 12 tarts
Ingredients
- 115 gram all purpose flour
- 60 gram unsalted butter chilled
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 4-5 drops water
- ½ cup cherry pie filling
- 12 chocolate truffles
- whipped cream to serve
Instructions
- I used a melon scooper to make chocolate truffles from leftover chilled ganache & quickly rolled them in cocoa. I placed them in an airtight container on a parchment sheet & refrigerated till further use.
- Pre-heat the oven at 180 °C. Lightly grease the tart moulds.
- Mix flour & baking powder together.
- Add the butter & rub the flour & butter together using fingertips to create a dough resembling breadcrumbs.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal parts & line the tart moulds.
- Place one truffle per tart mould. Then top it with 2 tsp of cherry pie filling.
- Bake for 15 mins or till done. Remove from oven
- Allow to cool completely on wire rack in the moulds. Do not de-mould when hot as you can scald yourself.
