Shortcrust chestnut Tartlets with Chocolate Ganache

These small gluten-free tarts are the result of the union of two leftovers from two different recipes.

I have already expressed how much I liked the shortcrust pastry with chestnut flour prepared for this tart, adding the delicious chocolate ganache made for Sachertorte these small delicious tarts were born. They remind me of the tarts I used to have for a snack at school, but definitely better! I enriched them with pistachios and pecans, any dried fruit or dehydrated fruit would be great.

As for fresh fruit, I would opt for more rustic flavors such as apricots or pears that go well with the "spiced" chestnut shortcrust pastry.


Tips

Remember to equip yourself with dried legumes or ceramic balls for baking the shortcrust shell keeping it flat.


Happy baking!
