In my quest to bake with wheat flour and cereal based ingredients instead of the refined plain flour I tried my hand at baking these easy to make tartlets.Last week I was invited to dine in one of the Italian restaurants in town by one of my friends and to our sweet delight desserts ruled the dinner.The dark chocolate filled tarts infused with a right amount of dark rum was the winner of the dessert race.
This delicacy melted in our mouth which made me to bake these whole wheat tarts with chocolate filling.A tart is a baked dish consisting of a filling over a pastry base basically a short crust pastry which can be either sweet or savoury based.Fruit tarts are trending and people welcome them with happy hands on their dessert table.
