So, let’s not waste any more time and get straight to making your new favorite treat!
What You’ll Need
Alright, let’s raid that kitchen of yours. Here’s what you’re gonna need to whip up these bad boys:
- 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream – This is the stuff dreams are made of.
- 12 ounces of semisweet chocolate, chopped – Because chocolate is life, right?
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter – To add a bit of rich, creamy goodness.
- 1 tablespoon of sugar – Just a touch of sweetness.
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt – To make all those flavors pop!
- Pre-made tartlet shells – Because we’re all about making life easier.
Got everything? Sweet! Let’s move on to the fun part.
Making Magic Happen
Step 1: Heat Things Up
Grab a saucepan and gently heat that heavy cream over medium heat. You’re looking for a simmer, not a full-on boil. Think of it as getting the cream all nice and cozy.
Step 2: Chocolate Time
Once your cream is feeling all warm and fuzzy, take it off the heat and throw in your chopped chocolate, butter, sugar, and salt. Let them sit for a minute. They need a little time to get to know each other.
Step 3: Stir It Up
Now, give that mixture a good stir until everyone’s melted and smooth. This is your ganache, and it’s the best thing ever. Seriously, try not to eat it all with a spoon.
Step 4: Tartlet Time
Take those pre-made tartlet shells (no judgment here, we’re all friends) and fill them up with your ganache. Be generous; these are no time for diets.
Step 5: Chill Out
Pop those beauties in the fridge to set. This is the hardest part – waiting. Find something to distract yourself. Maybe do a little dance, start a new show, or plan your next dessert masterpiece.
Serving Up Awesome
Once your tartlets are all set (literally), it’s time to make them look as good as they taste. Get creative! Top them with a sprinkle of sea salt, some whipped cream, or whatever your heart desires. These are your masterpieces, after all.
Serve them up and watch as everyone’s eyes light up. Congratulations, you’ve just reached legendary status in the dessert world.
