How to Make Chocolate Tarts
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 4 ounces cream cheese, softened, and mix until a soft dough forms. Roll dough into 1-inch balls.
- Press each dough ball into the cups of an ungreased mini-muffin tin.
- Set aside.
- Melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Add 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the melted chocolate. Stir until completely smooth and combined.
- Remove from heat and gently stir in 1 large egg that has been beaten until light and frothy.
- Fill each pastry crust with about 1 tablespoon of the chocolate mixture. Top with your favorite nut (e.g., chopped pecans, walnuts)
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly gooey. Let cool completely in the tin before serving.
