Ingredients:
- 375 grams all-purpose flour (00 flour)
- 150 grams butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 75 grams granulated sugar
- 75 grams brown sugar
- 50 grams dark chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- Vanilla extract, to taste
- Nutella, as needed for filling
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
- Add the cold butter pieces and work them into the dry ingredients using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the vanilla extract and eggs, then mix until a crumbly dough forms. Finally, fold in the dark chocolate chips.
- Assemble the Tarts:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease small tart molds or line them with parchment paper.
- Press a portion of the dough into the base and up the sides of each tart mold, creating an even layer.
- Fill each tart with a spoonful of Nutella, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining crumbly dough over the Nutella filling, covering it completely but leaving a slightly uneven surface for a rustic look.
- Bake the Tarts:
- Place the tarts on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the tarts are golden brown and the edges are crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let the tarts cool in the molds before carefully removing them.
