Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine butter, flour, sugar, and egg yolk until a dough forms. Press the dough into tartlet molds evenly and prick the bottoms with a fork to prevent bubbling. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer, then pour it over finely chopped dark chocolate in a bowl. Add fresh brewed coffee. Wait a minute before stirring until smooth and glossy. Allow the ganache to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate to chill until thickened.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Once ganache has thickened, pipe or spoon mascarpone cream over ganache in cooled tart shells.
- Dust the top of the mascarpone layer with cocoa powder and add chocolate shavings. Chill tartlets in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
