Twinkle, twinkle, little star tart :) Welcome to our 2nd Tuesdays with Dorie baking through the book Baking with Julia. Our featured recipe this week is Chocolate Truffle Tartlets by David Ogonowski.
I was excited to give these a try because I got to use my new star tartlet pans, aren't they cute?
I also used two of my mini heart tartlet pans. I have way too many tart pans! Tarts are just so fun to bake and can be sweet or savory. I think I like the savory tarts a touch better, if they are sweet I prefer them as fruit tarts. Even though Chocolate Truffle Tartlets wouldn't be my first tart choice on a dessert menu, these were pretty yummy and fun to make.

Above is the chocolate tart dough all ready to be rolled out...
Lots of chocolate in this recipe, bittersweet, milk, and white -- oh my! Chocolate overload! After baking them, they almost looked like little Chocolate Brownie Tartlets...
I gussied these up with whipped cream, sprinkles, and a maraschino cherry for the kids. They loved them, success! Picky husband didn't finish his tartlet. He is not a huge chocolate fan. Chocolate desserts are hit or miss for me. This one was pretty good. If you are a chocolate fan I bet you went head over heels for these cute little tartlets. Happy Baking, everyone!

Your tartlets look so delicious -- and topped with whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles? YUM!
Those star-shaped tartlet molds are indeed so cute! I like the heart-shaped ones as well! It's always handy to have pans in a variety of shapes and sizes when you have kids :-)

Those are the cutest little tart pans! They look really delicious. We loved these and I will definitely be making these again.
Love the tart pans! Maybe if I put my tart in those cute little pans, my boys would have tried them. They look so good!
I've never seen star or heart shaped tart pans. Very neat!! I love the way you topped your tartlets. These are very rich & chocolate-y. We are chocolate lovers here so we enjoyed them immensely.
Love the idea of the shaped tart pans, but I have a hard enough time getting tart dough into a circle. A star would blow my skills out of the water. Looks delicious!
Your tartlets look so beautiful...love the star shaped tart pans!

SO! ADORABLE! I love the star shaped ones, what a great idea! Now, to get my hands on cute pans like that....
So fun & cute!!
I love the star shapes ... and how you made them kid-friendly. I'm sure they were a hit, mine were rather like over-sized candy bars!
Those little tartlet pans are just too darned cute. However did you get the crust formed so perfectly into all the points of the star? Love the addition of the whipped cream and sprinkles too :)
Those pans are adorable! I'll add whipped cream to my "should have thought of that" list. I thought these were heavenly.
These are seriously adorable!
Love the heart pans!
So cute! Perfect for the kiddos!!
