Nutella Tartlets

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 cup Nutella or other chocolate hazelnut spread
• 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F and line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add the egg yolk and mix until the dough comes together into a ball.
4. Divide dough into 12 equal portions and press each portion into a paper-lined muffin cup, making a small well in the center of each using your thumb or the back of a spoon.
5. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
6. Once the tartlet shells have cooled, spread about 1 tablespoon of Nutella into the center of each shell. Sprinkle chopped hazelnuts on top and serve.

Verdict

These bite-sized Nutella tartlets are the perfect dessert for any chocolate lover. The buttery crust combined with smooth and creamy Nutella is simply irresistible. The crunchy hazelnuts on top add a lovely texture and nutty flavor. Serve them at a party or enjoy them as a sweet treat with a cup of coffee or tea.
