Chocolate Tarts Recipe

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

unsweetened cocoa powder

🥗Healthier: carob powder

💰Cheaper: Dutch-processed cocoa

Carob powder is lower in fat and calories, while Dutch cocoa is often cheaper.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt.

Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add egg yolks and mix until a dough forms.

Press the dough into tartlet pans evenly across the bottom and up the sides.

Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until set; cool completely.

In a saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat until just simmering.

Remove from heat and add chopped chocolate and vanilla; stir until smooth.

Pour the chocolate mixture into the cooled tart shells.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.

Garnish with whipped cream, fresh berries, and mint leaves before serving.
