How to make chocolate mousse tarts

Let’s Make The Tart Shells

Into a food processor or an electric mixer, add the flour, almond flour, powdered sugar and salt. Mix for a few seconds to combine
Next, add the cold cubed butter and mix until the flour resembles wet sand. While mixing, add the egg whites. Pulse until a rough dough forms. Stop mixing and transfer the dough to a clean work table.
Form the dough into a flat disk, wrap with parchment paper or cling film. Refrigerate the dough for 1hr.
Afterwards, roll the dough into 1inch thin sheet, using your tart pan as a guide, cut the dough a little larger than the tart pan. Place the dough into the pan and trim off the excess at the top.
Use a fork to poke holes on the dough to prevent it from rising while baking. Repeat this process for the remaining tart shells.
Transfer your tart shells into the fridge for a few minutes.
Next, bake the shells in a 175 degree Celsius oven for 10-20mins or until they are golden brown. Remove the baked shells from the pan and set aside on a wire rack to cool completely.

Let’s Make The Chocolate Mousse

Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler and keep it warm.
Into a large mixing bowl, add the whipping cream and whip till light and fluffy. Add the Baileys delight and mix till well combined.
Next, add in the melted chocolate and mix well.
Pour the mousse into the tart shells and refrigerate for a few minutes.
Lastly, top the tarts with any toppings of your choice, and enjoy.
