🍰 Tiramisu Tartlets
Mini tartlets with a crisp shell and creamy tiramisu filling—elegant, delicious, and totally irresistible!
🧁 Ingredients:
For the Tartlet Shells:
1 ¼ cups (160g) all-purpose flour
¼ cup (30g) powdered sugar
½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 egg yolk
1–2 tbsp cold water
🥣 For the Filling (suggested):
8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp instant espresso powder (or strong coffee)
½ cup heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Optional: mini chocolate shavings or ladyfinger crumbs for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Make the Tartlet Shells:
In a food processor, pulse together flour and powdered sugar.
Add cubed butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add egg yolk and 1 tbsp cold water. Pulse until dough just comes together (add more water if needed).
Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
Roll out dough and cut into circles to fit mini tart pans or a muffin tin.
Press dough into molds and prick the bottoms with a fork.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes or until lightly golden. Cool completely.
2. Make the Filling:
In a bowl, beat mascarpone with sugar, vanilla, and espresso until smooth.
Gently fold in whipped cream until combined and fluffy.
3. Assemble:
Spoon or pipe filling into cooled tart shells.
Dust with cocoa powder and garnish as desired.
Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
☕ Tips:
Want extra coffee kick? Brush cooled tart shells lightly with espresso before adding filling.
Not a fan of mascarpone? Substitute with cream cheese + a little more whipped cream!
