Ingredients
Choc-orange tartlets
- 1 sheet frozen butter puff pastry, partially thawed
- 1 tablespoon icing sugar
- 1/3 cup (80ml) cream
- 150 gram dark chocolate, chopped finely
- 30 gram butter, chopped
- 2 teaspoon orange-flavoured liqueur
- 1 1/4 cup (275g) caster sugar
- 1/4 cup (60ml) water
- 1 large orange, rind removed with a zester in long thin strips
Method
Choc-orange tartlets
-
1Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Grease a 12-hole round-based patty pan tray.
-
2Cut pastry sheet in half. Sift half the icing sugar over one pastry half. Place remaining pastry half on top, sift over remaining icing sugar.
-
3Roll up pastry tightly from short side. Cut log into 12 slices. Freeze pastry slices for 10 minutes (they will be too soft to handle, otherwise). Roll each pastry slice between two sheets of baking paper until a little more than 7cm in diameter. Using a 7cm cutter, cut out rounds to make an even shape. Place pastry rounds in patty pan holes, gently pressing to fit. Freeze in tray for 10 minutes.
-
4Bake on lower shelf of oven for about 12 minutes, then move to upper middle shelf of oven for a further 3 minutes or until browned lightly.
-
5Place cream, chocolate, butter and liqueur in a small heatproof bowl. Place bowl over a pan of just simmering water, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until just melted and smooth. Remove bowl from saucepan and set aside until cooled and thickened.
-
6Meanwhile, combine the sugar and water in a very small pan and cook, stirring, over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Add orange rind and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 7 minutes or until rind is translucent and syrup is slightly thickened. Cool.
-
7Divide chocolate mixture among pastry cases. Just before serving, strain candied orange rind and decorate tartlets.
