Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, combine the flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt. Pulse a few times to mix.

  2. Add the cold butter pieces and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Pulse until the dough comes together and forms a ball.

  4. Flatten the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 12-cup mini tart pan.

  6. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out circles using a round cutter that fits your mini tart pan.

  7. Gently press the dough circles into the tart pan, ensuring they cover the bottoms and sides.

  8. Prick the dough with a fork and place the tart pan in the freezer for 15 minutes.

  9. Bake the tart shells for 12-15 minutes or until set. Let them cool completely in the pan.

  10. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth.

  11. Pour the chocolate ganache into the cooled tart shells. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

  12. Before serving, garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves.
