How to Make Julia's Chocolate Truffle Tartlets

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the chocolate pastry shell: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Press the dough into your tartlet tins or a 10-inch tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is set and lightly golden.
  7. Let the crust cool completely.
  8. Prepare the truffle filling: In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over simmering water, melt the bittersweet chocolate, heavy cream, and butter. Stir until smooth and glossy.
  9. Remove from heat and stir in the powdered sugar and salt until combined.
  10. Stir in the chopped milk chocolate, white chocolate, and biscotti.
  11. Fill the cooled tart shells with the chocolate truffle mixture.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is set.
  13. Garnish with additional chocolate shavings or biscotti crumbs (optional).
  14. Serve chilled and enjoy!
