1. Chocolate Mint Cream Tarts

These Chocolate Mint Cream Tarts by Crystal Bonnet are simple yet elegant. Chocolate and mint is one of my favorite flavor combinations. We use food-grade peppermint essential oil to achieve a lovely mint flavor, but you can use mint extract instead. Moringa powder is used as a natural superfood color to create a pastel-green color in the mint cream filling.

This Chocolate Hazelnut Praline Tarts by Crystal Bonnet is a chocolate lover’s dream with an elegant finish! Hazelnut and chocolate is a very popular flavor combination and this recipe knocks it out of the park. It’s important to have all the ingredients for the hazelnut chocolate filling at room temperature; if they’re cold, once you add the cacao butter, the mixture will seize and start setting, causing the filling to be challenging to work with. Chocolate requires patience.
