Nut Tartlets with Ganache and Fig

Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 4.9 oz
Hazelnut - 1.8 oz
Butter - 2.1 oz
Egg white - 1 piece
Sugar - 1.1 oz
10% cream - 3 fl oz
Liquid dark chocolate - 3.5 oz
Salt - a pinch
Fig - 2 pieces
Honey - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

If the hazelnuts are raw, toast them in a preheated oven at 356°F for 8–10 minutes. Remove the skins and grind them in a blender with a little sugar until flour-like. Sift into a deep bowl, add wheat flour, salt, and sugar. Mix well.

Step 2

Melt the butter and pour it into the flour mixture. Add the egg and knead the dough by hand until smooth.

Step 3

Divide the dough in half, form 2 balls, and roll them into discs to fit the tartlet pans. Place the dough in the pans, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Bake the crust for about 20 minutes at 356°F until golden brown. Once slightly cooled, remove the crust from the pans and let it cool completely.

Step 5

Meanwhile, prepare the ganache: break the chocolate into pieces, place in a bowl, heat the cream until just below boiling, and pour it over the chocolate. Stir with a spatula until the melting chocolate and cream form a smooth, homogeneous mixture. Pour the cream over the crusts and refrigerate until fully cooled (the ganache should become firm and the surface matte).

Step 6

Wash the figs, dry them, remove the tough top part, and cut into quarters. Place the fig wedges on a sheet of parchment paper and drizzle with honey. Bake at 356°F for 5–8 minutes (depending on the ripeness of the fruit) until the figs become soft. Use the cooled figs to decorate the finished tartlet.
