Tart Recipe

Tarts are not only beautiful and delicious, but they also make for the perfect bite-sized treat for parties, picnics, and special occasions. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make your own tart shells at home using this easy recipe. Whether you want to fill them with chocolate, custard, or fruit, these tart bases will be your go-to recipe!

🛒 Ingredients for Tart Dough

• 360 g tart flour
• 200 g unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 large eggs
• 40 g sugar
• 20 g oil

👩‍🍳 Instructions–Making the Tart Dough

Step 1: Combine the Ingredients

In a food processor or large mixing bowl, add the tart flour, sugar, salt, butter, and oil. Mix slowly at first until the ingredients begin to come together. Then increase the speed or knead by hand until you get a crumbly texture.

Step 2: Add Eggs & Knead

Add both eggs to the mixture and knead gently until a smooth dough forms. Avoid over-kneading. Wrap the dough in plastic and rest it for 20 minutes at room temperature.

Step 3: Prepare Your Machine or Molds. 

If you’re using a tart-making machine (like Cookmate), preheat it to 150°C (302°F). Set a timer for 3 minutes to ensure it reaches the right temperature.

Step 4: Shape the Dough

Roll the dough into small balls (about 7–8 g each). Place them into the tart molds or press them gently into the tart machine's shape slots.

Step 5: Cook or Bake

Close the machine and cook the tart shells for about 7 minutes.
After 3 minutes, open the lid and check for doneness to avoid overcooking or burning.
If using an oven, bake at 175°C (350°F) for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 6: Cool Down

Carefully remove the tart shells from the machine or mold and place them on a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before adding fillings.

🎯 Tips to Avoid Burning
Tart cones can burn quickly in a hot machine. Here’s what to do:
Always check after 3 minutes.
Adjust time or temperature if the shells begin to darken too soon.
Make smaller batches at first to master your specific machine.

Once your tart shells are ready and cooled, it’s time for the fun part - the filling! Here are some delicious filling ideas:

• Nutella or chocolate ganache
