  • 7 g baking powder (about 1 teaspoon)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 packet vanilla sugar
  • 1 egg (medium size)
  • 10 g butter (for greasing the molds)
  • 100 ml whole liquid cream
  • 120 g chocolate (mixed dark and milk, chopped)
  • 5 g butter (ganache) (optional, for shine)
  • 20 g speculoos (crushed biscuit, for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven

    Turn on the oven to fan mode at 180 °C and let it heat for about 5 minutes.

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: 180°C

  2. Mix the liquid ingredients

    In a bowl, crack the egg, add the sugar, the vanilla sugar, a pinch of salt and whisk until the mixture lightens slightly. Then incorporate the sunflower oil and the milk.

    Time: PT5M

  3. Sift the dry ingredients

    In another bowl, sift the flour, the unsweetened cocoa and the baking powder to avoid lumps.

    Time: PT2M

  4. Incorporate the dry ingredients

    Pour the dry mixture into the bowl containing the liquid ingredients and mix gently until you obtain a homogeneous batter, without overworking the dough.

    Time: PT3M

  5. Prepare the molds

    Lightly butter each cavity of the mini muffin tin (or use cooking spray). Fill each cavity halfway with the batter.

    Time: PT3M

  6. Bake the tartlets

    In a small saucepan, bring the whole cream to a boil, remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted, then add the butter and mix until you obtain a glossy texture.

    Time: PT10M

  9. Fill the tartlets with ganache

    Once the ganache is slightly warm, pour it into the small well of each tartlet using a spoon or a piping bag.

    Time: PT5M

    Sprinkle the tartlets with crushed speculoos to add crunch. You can also leave the tartlets plain if you wish.

    Time: PT2M
