TWD: Chocolate Truffle Tartlets

· by · 27 Comments


It is only Tuesday but boy have I had my bake on already! I have much to share this week but today I am going to talk about these cute, and very sweet, rich, chocolatey tartlets. I must confess, I’ve had the cookbook “Baking With Julia” for several years now. I found while living in Florida at a 2nd hand book store.

I am fond of anything Julia, especially baking. I imagined this cookbook would be a challenge. If you are not familiar with any of Julia’s cookbooks then I suggest you do, you are missing out. I’ve made several recipes that have been very involved and I think that is why her baking books are something I visit rarely, I do enjoy a challenge but sometimes I do not have hours to devote to yummy things.

I was excited to join the “bake along” group, “Tuesdays With Dorie; Baking With Julia“. It is a huge baking experiment for me and I find it exciting, a way to expand my baking knowledge, share with others who are participating and I am sure I will have some rough times baking through this cookbook but I welcome the challenge!

I found these tartlets very easy & enjoyable to make. I did not change anything in the recipe. I made the chocolate dough on one day, baked the tartlets on the 2nd day and then I finished them this morning. I actually ended up using smaller tart pans & I only had two of them. I made a total of 6. The recipe was pretty straight forward and I found I had no issues. They have a wonderful taste and texture. My husband also loved them and said some ice cream or cool whip would taste great with these on the side.

For the recipe you can visit the hosts for this week or purchase the book!

  13. Your tarts look wonderful. I did the same thing and made the crust the day before. I think that really helped me not feel overwhelmed. I thought the recipe was pretty straight forward and like you am sure there might be some tough ones along the way..but how fun to be cooking alongside TWD bakers 🙂 Love your blog!

  23. I love your pictures, especially the one with the tartlets stacked! These were delicious weren’t they? I’m glad you liked them. I am also looking forward to the challenge of some of these recipes. I want to learn to make some things that I’ve never tried before. Good luck on your rugelach!
