WALNUT CHOCOLATE TARTLETS
These Walnut Chocolate Tartlets are easy to make, sugar free, healthy and nutritious. Both kids and adults can enjoy these tartlets as dessert or a snack. These tartlets do not require any baking. Yes you heard right. The only cooking required is to toast the walnuts and melt the chocolate. Both which I did in the microwave oven to save on time.
Ingredients
- 75 g walnuts approx. ¾ cup
- 150 g dates approx.1 cup
- 2 tbsp unsweetened desiccated coconut optional
- 100 g peanut butter approx.½ cup
- 100 g dark chocolate approx. 1 cup
- 2 tbsp coconut oil or melted butter optional
Instructions
- Toast the walnuts in a wide pan over low heat for 2-3 minutes or in the microwave oven for 2 minutes.
- Allow the walnuts to cool down a bit.
- In the meantime, pit the dates. Remove the seeds.
- Transfer the walnuts to a food processor. Process till they are roughly chopped.
- Add the pitted dates and peanut butter.
- Process till the mixture comes together as a paste.
- Transfer the mixture to a plate or bowl.
- Add the desiccated coconut if you are using any. Mix well.
- If the mixture appears a bit dry add some melted butter or coconut oil and mix well. I didn't need to use any.
- Take about ½ tablespoonful of the walnut date paste and roll it into a ball.
- Use a silicon mini muffin cup to shape the ball into a mini tartlet.
- Alternately use the back of a scoop spoon to shape the mixture into a cup or tartlet.
- Add the chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl.
- Melt the chocolate for 50-60 seconds. Mix well. If need be microwave it for another 10 seconds.
- Using a small spoon. fill the tartlets with the melted chocolate.
- Rest the walnut chocolate tartlets in the fridge for 10 minutes before serving.
- Can add some sprinkles or chopped pistachio on top if you want to.
Notes
- Add flavourings like cardamom or cinnamon powder if you wish.
- Make sure you use soft dates for this recipe.
- Can use milk or white chocolate.
- Store the tartlets in an airtight container.
- The tartlets stay fresh at room temperature for 3-4 days. Best to keep them in the fridge if you want them to stay fresh for longer.
