CHOCOLATE TARTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 5 (4 1/2-inch) tartlet pans with nonstick spray.
• Divide the cookie dough into 5 equal-sized balls. Press each dough ball into the tartlet pans; making sure it covers the sides and bottoms. Put the pans on a cookie sheet and bake until golden, about 15 to 18 minutes. Remove the pans from the oven and let cool completely. Turn the oven down to 325 degrees F.
• Put the chopped chocolate into a bowl. Add the heavy cream to a small saucepan over low heat. Bring the cream up to a low simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Stir or whisk the chocolate and cream until smooth and melted. Stir in the corn syrup, sugar, and salt. Whisk in the beaten egg. Ladle the filling into the cooled tart shells and bake until the filling is set and the surface is glossy, about 15 to18 minutes. Remove the tartlets from the oven and let cool. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings and serve.

BERRY TARTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Using a 4-in. round cookie cutter, cut 12 circles, rerolling scraps as necessary. Press circles onto bottoms and up sides of ungreased muffin cups., Mix sugar and cornstarch; toss with berries and lemon juice. Spoon 2 tablespoons filling into each cup. Bake on a lower oven rack until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 24-26 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack; cool completely., For topping, beat cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, mix lemon curd, sugar, vanilla and 1 tablespoon whipped cream; fold in remaining whipped cream. Spoon over filling. If desired, top with fresh berries. Refrigerate until serving.

LEMON BERRY TARTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Place frozen puff pastry sheet on a work surface dusted with flour. Allow to thaw for 2 to 3 minutes. Using a 1 1/2 to 2-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out 12 round pieces. Place pastry rounds on the prepared baking sheet. Using a slightly smaller round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out inner circles in each pastry round, leaving them in place. Brush each pastry round with beaten egg.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned and puffed, 13 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool completely before filling.
• Cut around the small inner circle of each pastry round and gently push it down. Fill each tartlet with lemon curd and top with a blackberry. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

CHOCOLATE CUSTARD-BERRY TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Blend flour, butter, and sugar together in a food processor until crumbly. Pour in water; mix until crust dough holds together. Press into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Poke holes in dough with a fork to eliminate air bubbles.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven; increase oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Chop chocolate and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring occasionally, until melted; spread over baked crust.
• Beat cream cheese, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, and egg together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth; spread filling over chocolate layer.
• Arrange berries tightly and evenly over cream cheese filling. Mix raspberry syrup and blackberry schnapps together in a small bowl; brush over berries using a pastry brush.
• Bake in the preheated oven until berries are reduced and filling begins to set, about 35 minutes. Remove from oven; filling will set completely as it cools.

BERRY TARTLETS

Steps:

• Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 piece to 1/8 inch thick. (Keep remaining dough refrigerated.) Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 8 rounds. Gently press into eight 2 1/2-inch round tart pans. Trim dough flush with top edge of pans. Refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line tart shells with parchment, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edges are golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove parchment and weights; continue baking until surfaces are golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Repeat process with remaining dough.
• Remove tart shells from pans; spoon 2 teaspoons pastry cream into each. Top with berries. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Top with berry leaves, if desired.

BERRY ALMOND TARTLETS WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• For the almond pastry, put the flour, ground almonds, sugar and 1⁄4 tsp salt into a food processor and work for 5 seconds until mixed. Add the butter and pulse for about 10 seconds until the mixture forms fine crumbs. Tip into a bowl, add the egg yolks and almond extract and mix with a knife to make coarse crumbs (don't do this in the machine or you'll overwork it and make the pastry tough). Turn out on to the work surface and knead briefly by hand to a smooth, pliable ball. If it's too sticky, work in a little more flour. Wrap in cling film and chill for at least 30 minutes until firm.
• Brush six 9cm loose-bottomed tartlet tins with melted butter. Divide the ball of dough in half and work with one piece at a time. Roll it out on non-stick baking parchment until 3mm thick. Cut out three 13cm rounds using a plain pastry cutter or a small upturned saucer as a template. Ease each disc of pastry into the tins and press them on to the base and sides so the edges of the pastry come slightly above the top edge of the tins. Prick the bases with a fork so they do not puff up in the oven and set them on a baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the pastry. Chill for at least 15 minutes until firm. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to fan 180C/conventional 200C/gas 6.
• Line the tartlets with small squares of buttered foil, pressing them well against the sides to hold up the dough during baking. Bake for 7-8 minutes until the pastry starts to brown. Remove the foil and continue baking for a further 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown. Let them cool in the tins, then turn them out to be sure they are loose. Replace them in the tins for support before adding the filling.
• For the ganache, break the chocolate into a bowl. Bring the cream just to the boil, pour on to the chocolate and leave for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth. Chill without stirring for 8-12 minutes until the ganache is cool but still soft enough to pour, then pour a shallow layer into each tartlet to cover the base. Chill until set, then unmould the tartlets and let them come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes. (They can be kept covered, at room temperature, for up to 6 hours.)
• To finish, warm the redcurrant jelly with 1 tbsp water and stir until smooth. Pick over the raspberries and pile them casually on top of the ganache. Spoon over a little of the warm glaze and decorate each tartlet with a tiny sprig of mint.

CHOCOLATE AND BERRY TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll out pastry on floured surface to 14x11-inch rectangle. Trim two 1-inch-wide strips off each edge (for a total of 8 strips) and reserve. Transfer pastry rectangle to ungreased baking sheet. Pierce rectangle all over with fork. Brush with glaze. Arrange 1 pastry strip atop each edge of rectangle, trimming to join strips at corners. Brush with glaze. Top each edge with remaining pastry strips, covering corner seams and trimming to square off. Brush with glaze. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake 5 minutes. Pierce pastry rectangle (not sides) all over with fork. Continue baking until golden, about 20 minutes longer. Cool on rack.
• Melt chocolate in top of double broiler over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon jelly; stir until melted. Add 2 tablespoons sour cream; mix until smooth. Spread in crust.
• Melt remaining 1/4 cup jelly in small saucepan over low heat, stirring often. Combine berries in bowl. Add melted jelly; stir to coat. Immediately spoon berries atop soft chocolate in crust, covering chocolate completely. Chill just until set, about 1 hour. Let stand at room temperature. (Can be made 6 hours ahead.)
• Combine 1/4 cup sour cream and crème de cassis. Serve with tart.

EASY MIXED BERRY AND CHOCOLATE TART RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Fill a small saucepan with about an inch of water and bring to a strong simmer. Place a medium heatproof bowl over the pot (making sure the bottom isn't touching the water) and add the chocolate chips. Melt, stirring often, until completely smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat but leave the bowl sitting over the water so the chocolate stays warm. Alternatively, microwave the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until melted and smooth.
• In a medium bowl, toss the thawed berries with the cornstarch and granulated sugar until fully coated.
• Lay the thawed puff pastry sheet on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the melted chocolate over to the center of the pastry and spread evenly, leaving a 1½-inch border around the edges. Scoop the berries on top of the chocolate. Fold the edges of the pastry over the berries.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and warm water until fully combined. Brush the honey mixture over the exposed pastry.
• Bake the tart until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, 18-20 minutes. Remove the tart from the oven and let cool for 15-20 minutes.
• Dust the tart with powdered sugar, then slice and serve.
• Enjoy!
