Nutella Tartlets with Banana

  • Yield: 12 tartlets 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 1/2 cups Nutella
  • 3 bananas
  • 1/4 cup toasted hazelnuts, chopped

Instructions

  1. Butter 12 small tartlet molds and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender, food processor, fork, or your fingers until the butter is incorporated and is the size of small peas.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and the milk.
  4. Stir the milk mixture into the flour mixture with a wooden spoon, then bring the dough together and knead a few times by hand.
  5. Divide dough in half. Wrap one half in plastic wrap and set aside while you roll out the other half.
  6. On a well-floured surface, roll the dough out thin.
  7. Cut twelve rounds of dough (slightly larger than the diameter of your tartlet molds) and line each mold with dough, removing any excess dough hanging over the edges.
  8. Prick the dough in each mold several times with a fork.
  9. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  10. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  11. Bake chilled tartlet crusts for 10-15 minutes, until lightly golden.
  12. Remove from oven (do not turn oven off) and fill each crust with 1-2 tablespoons Nutella.
  13. Slice bananas and top each tartlet with a few slices.
  14. Return to oven for 3-5 more minutes, until Nutella is warmed and bananas have softened but not turned dark.
  15. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts. Serve warm.
