Nutella Tartlets

Directions

1. 1
   For the crust:
2. 2
   Preheat oven to 300 F.
3. 3
   In a food processor, combine the flour, butter, egg, sugar, heavy cream and salt and pulse until the dough gathers into big clumps. Put the dough on a clean work surface that is lightly floured and gather it together. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough until it is around 1/4 of an inch thick.
4. 4
   You can use whatever size tart pans you like, piccolo, medio or grande (2x2-inch mini tartlet pans, medium 5 inch pans or a large 8x8-inch pan). Press the tart pans into the dough, using the edge of the tart pans to cut the dough, then firmly press dough into the pan.
5. 5
   Put the pans into the oven on 300 F and cook for 6 minutes. They will not be completely done, but you will be baking them again when filled with the Nutella. Now prepare your Nutella ganache.
6. 6
   Put the Nutella and chocolate in a small mixing bowl.
7. 7
   Bring the heavy cream to a simmer in a saucepan. Pour the hot cream over the Nutella and chocolate and mix until silky and smooth.
8. 8
   Now get the par-baked tart/tartlet crusts and carefully spoon the Nutella mixture into the crust. Put the pans back in the oven on 300 F and bake for another 6 minutes. Take them out of the oven and add some chopped hazelnuts to top of the tarts. Boun appetito!
