Chocolate Truffle Tarts

These are some chocolate tarts. They are chocolate shortcrust pastry filled with a chocolate truffle centre topped with a quenelle of whipped cream and cocoa powder.

The pastry is short, crisp and got just the right balance of chocolate and sweetness. The chocolate is rich and dark so the cream is an added extra that is necessary to reduce the bitterness. They are a small bite of indulgence.
