Chocolate Truffle Tart Cupcakes

Hello everyone:) Today I am going to share with you one of my favorite recipes! This is actually a tart but we are going to make it in the form of a cupcake! This recipe is from the Nestle's Classic Recipe cook book.

Crust

2/3 cup flour

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup ground walnuts

6 tablespoons butter

1/3 cup baking cocoa

Filling

1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 cups semi-sweet morsels

2 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam 

Pre-heat oven to 350.

(Crust)

Step 1: Beat all of the ingredients for the crust together until it is in a dough like form. Spoon 1 teaspoon of dough into the cupcake liners and bake for 12-14 minutes.

 (Filling)

Step 2: In a saucepan, bring cream and granulated sugar to a boil. Remove from heat, stir in chocolate and jam. Once this mixture is smooth cover and refrigerate for 45-60 minutes. 

Step 3: Remove the mixture from the refrigerator and beat for 20-30 seconds. Spoon the mixture into the cupcake liners with the crust. Refrigerate until firm. You can top these off with whipped cream and raspberries!
