This recipe is being written by Leila! I am so excited to write MY first post! Yay! I was bored a few days ago, so I decided to look for something to bake. I settled on some chocolate pudding tarts, and decided to add in some whipped cream as well. I decided to modify this recipe.
Chocolate Pudding Tarts
Tarts
1 1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 stick butter - cold
1 egg yolk
2 tsp heavy cream
1/2 tsp vanilla
Place the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the egg yolk, cream, and vanilla, and process until the dough gathers itself into a ball. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap, and chill for 1 hour. Separate the dough into 1" balls, place in a lightly greased cupcake pan, and use a small juice glass to press it down until it is about 1/4-1/8" thick all the way around. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes, then cover with foil to avoid burning the edges and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until done. Let cool, then fill with chocolate pudding (follow box directions) and whipped cream.
Whipped Cream
1 pint whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup powdered sugar
Freeze a metal bowl for 1 hour, then pour cold whipping cream into it. Beat and mix in vanilla and powdered sugar (or more to taste). Beat until stiff peaks form.
