This is going to be a very abbreviated Tuesdays With Dorie post. The hubs and I are heading up to San Francisco for a few days of R&R, and of course I'm the classic procrastinator running around like a maniac getting ready to leave town.Chocolate Cream Tart is the TWD recipe this week. This tart consists of a cocoa shortbread crust, chocolate pastry cream, and a slightly sweetened whipped cream.
I went small and made two-bite tartlettes. Mini-desserts are starting to become an obsession of mine. Mary & Caitlin--- I know you gals can relate! :)The crust was formed and baked in a mini muffin pan (yielding 24 mini tarts), and I reduced the oven temp to 350F degrees and baking time to 15 minutes. I had a ton of pastry cream left and would definitely reduce this portion of the recipe in half if I go mini again.
These tarts were FABULOUS!!! Thanks to Kim of Scrumptious Photography for the great pick this week. Make sure to visit Kim's beautiful blog for this week's recipe --- she is a fabulous baker and photographer!!!

Your micro-mini tarts look fabulous.
I am so glad that someone had the patience to make them.
OMG those are awesome! Great photos! I absolutely was in love with this tart too! So creamy and delish. Even better after a day in the fridge MMMMMMMMM
I often imagine you just like that extra-mini tart... no! no! not like a tart! duh.
Simply... sweet, dainty, delicate, precious and... oh! so nice to meet with!
A lovely take on the tart, Linda!

It looks too beautiful to eat! But I will eat it. ;)
I'm so jealous. How do you do it? Everything you make is just perfect. Not only do you make the recipe but adapt it without missing a beat! Don't even get me started on your photos. I love visiting your blog and seeing what you've baked up!

I really couldn't think of a way to make this tart better, but a fresh raspberry would do it! Beautiful. Have fun in S.F. The next time I get there I am determined to visit Elizabeth Falkner's Citizen Cake.
One of my tasters thought that raspberries would complete this tart. I'll send her over to you! Next time, I'm making minis. I can see how you'd have too much cream; I did, and I made a full size tart.

That first picture is so beautiful! The raspberry looks like it's back lit or lit from inside. I adore minis, and these are extra special.
These are adorable! Love the mini tarts! Hope you have a good vacation!

This is just so elegant and lovely...that wonderful red raspberry perched on top in all its glory. Wow...I think you could serve this anywhere any time and everyone would be in love with you!
Your minis look fantastic, especially with the raspberries on top. Yum!
Beautiful photos. They look good enough to eat right off the screen.
