Ingredients

200 g plain flour
110 g cubed butter
2 egg yolks
100 g icing sugar
1 pinch of salt
100 g baking chocolate
100 ml double cream
50 g cubed butter
150 g strawberry jam
400 g strawberries
12 tartlet moulds

Method

Prepare the shortcrust pastry: work the flour, butter and a pinch of salt with your fingertips until you achieve a fine sandy texture. Add the icing sugar and egg and keep mixing by hand, until you have an even consistency. Place in the fridge for 1 hour.
Roll out the dough on a lightly-floured worktop. With a pastry cutter, cut out 6.5cm circles of pastry. Place the pastry circles into tartlet moulds and press around the edges to make the tartlet bases.
Place in a Tefal Air Fryer and bake at 220°C for 13 minutes (check after 10 minutes to ensure they do not overbake). If your air fryer does not reach 220°C, use 200°C instead and adjust the baking time accordingly. Alternatively, preheat your oven to 220°C. Place the tartlet moulds on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 13 minutes.
Leave the pastry bases to cool then put in a little strawberry jam.
Put the chocolate, cream and butter for the sauce into the tin. Put the tin into the Cake Factory. Start programme P5 for 5 minutes. Smooth the sauce with a small whisk. Divide between the tartlet bases. Place a strawberry on top of each tartlet. Store in the fridge.
