How to Make Julia's Chocolate Truffle Tartlets
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 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.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Press the dough into your tartlet tins or a 10-inch tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is set and lightly golden.
- Let the crust cool completely.
- 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.
- Remove from heat and stir in the powdered sugar and salt until combined.
- Stir in the chopped milk chocolate, white chocolate, and biscotti.
- Fill the cooled tart shells with the chocolate truffle mixture.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is set.
- Garnish with additional chocolate shavings or biscotti crumbs (optional).
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
