I’m an enormous fan of Guylian Chocolate Sea Shells and I’ve contributed to their Ending Touches e-book on various events. This Festive assortment is stuffed with some superb recipes so that you can bake over the Christmas interval, together with my Spiced Chocolate Tarts.
The recipe I contributed is these spiced chocolate tarts, they’re a digestive biscuit base, full of a cardamom and cinnamon infused ganache and topped with a glistening mirror glaze and a completed off with a Guylian chocolate sea shell.
You don’t need to make the glaze, however I’d advocate it. The glaze provides the spiced chocolate tarts a silky texture and makes them a bit extra decadent. When you don’t make the glaze, add the Guylian earlier than you place the tarts within the fridge to set, in order that they follow the ganache.
These hold very well within the fridge in an hermetic container and can simply final 4-5 days, simply keep in mind to take them out of the fridge 10-Quarter-hour earlier than you eat them so they arrive as much as temperature and you’ll style the flavours infused into the ganache.
