Mini Chocolate Hazelnut Tarts
If you’re looking for a dessert worthy of a holiday (let alone a new decade), look no further. Rich, smooth, and decadent on the inside; crunchy and nutty on the outside. The full effect? Nothing short of fabulous. Enjoy as a “small bite” portion with coffee after dinner, or allow yourself the total indulgence of savoring the full tart. What we love about this recipe (besides everything) is the customizable flavor. Add espresso powder or a flavored extract like vanilla, orange or peppermint for a bold as well as sweet taste. Tips: Add sweetener to taste to your crust prior to adding the egg white. For a low-carb, sugar-free option, you can use a sweetener like Swerve or monk fruit . You can also experiment with flavoring the chocolate ganache. Try adding espresso powder, vanilla extract, orange extract, or peppermint extract.
