TWD – Chocolate Truffle Tartlets

This was my first TWD recipe – chocolate truffle tartles
from the book Baking with Julia. 
If you do not own this book you should.
I enjoy baking, but because measuring is  not my thing, I am definitely not a great baker.  This recipe was a little scary at first.  I have never really ventured into tart making.  Pies give me enough of a struggle.  But I am so excited to be part of this group, that I had to dive right in.
You know what…it wasn’t that bad.  A little time consuming, but very enjoyable. (and this coming from a non-measurer)
The chocolate dough made in the food processor was actually quite easy to work with.



first one done; 5 to go

I was SO relieved to have the shells baking; the filling was a breeze!
For my first attempt at tartlets, I was very pleased with my results – I’m not even a chocolate fan!

the final step
