Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 200 grams Creamy peanut butter
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 50 grams Crushed peanuts (unsalted)
- 50 grams Chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 12-cup tart tin or line it with paper cases.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar. Add the diced cold butter and rub it into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until a dough forms. Do not overwork the dough.
Step 4
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 3mm (1/8 inch) thick. Using a round cookie cutter slightly larger than the tart tin holes, cut out 12 circles.
Step 5
Press each circle of dough into the prepared tart tin, trimming any excess from the edges. Prick the bottoms with a fork to prevent puffing.
Step 6
Bake the tart shells in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool completely in the tin before removing.
Step 7
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
Step 8
Spoon the peanut butter filling into the cooled tart shells, distributing evenly among them.
Step 9
Top each tart with a sprinkle of crushed peanuts for crunch. If desired, melt the chocolate chips and drizzle over the tarts for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 10
Chill the tarts in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
Step 11
Serve chilled and enjoy!
