Ingredients:
- 1 portion Julia’s Chocolate Tart Dough
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 8 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 ounces white chocolate
- 2 ounces milk chocolate
- 4 pieces biscotti
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and set aside. |
| 2 | Remove the bottoms from six 4 1/2 inch fluted tartlet pans. |
| 3 | Cut the dough into six even pieces and shape each into a rough circle. |
| 4 | Roll out each piece into a circle, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. |
| 5 | Fit the dough into the tartlet pans, pressing into the edges and trimming excess. |
| 6 | Chill the lined tartlet pans for at least 20 minutes. |
| 7 | Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prick the bottoms of the crusts with a fork and bake for 12-15 minutes. |
| 8 | Melt the butter and bittersweet chocolate until smooth, then allow to cool slightly. |
| 9 | In a mixer, beat egg yolks and vanilla extract until thick and pale. Gradually add sugar. |
| 10 | Fold a third of the egg mixture into the cooled chocolate, then fold in the rest. |
| 11 | Add cubed chocolates and biscotti to the mixture, folding gently to combine. |
| 12 | Divide the filling evenly among the cooled tartlet shells. |
| 13 | Smooth the filling and bake for 10-12 minutes, until set. |
| 14 | Allow the tartlets to cool for 20 minutes before serving. |
