CHOCOLATE TART

I love tarts and I want something chocolaty for Hari Raya. Browse through the net and I found this from Jamie Oliver cook book - Jamie Oliver Food Revolution. The tarts look so tempting. Since it gonna be my Hari Raya cookies the size of the cookies should be smaller, so I made a twist here, I convert it into a cookies version instead using the normal tartlet  casing I used the Pineapple tarts cookie cutter...well not bad. Managed to get around 70 mini tarts and to my surprise the next day I woke up  half of the cookies gone....ha...ha.... who's the culprit...who else the girls staying late for their exam and they whip up almost half....I have to make it again and this time around I have to wait 2 -3 days before Hari raya.

4. Add butter and lemon zest to flour mixture.
5. Pulse until the flour mixture resembles a fine crumble.

Menggunakan recipe Jamie Oliver dan membuat sedikit perubahan bersesuian dengan Hari Raya saya buat tart ini. Ini pertama kali saya buat chocolate tart. Tart ini sepatutnya lebih besar sedikit dan dimasukkan kacang hazel nut sebelum memasukkan chocolate tetapi saya tinggalkan ini. Saya menggunakan resipi pastry JO dan cairkan chocolate pipekan kedalam tart yang sudah masak. Ranggup dan sedap.
