Korzinki Recipe-
These Korzinki which translate into baskets are so addictive. The cookie dough is so buttery, delicate and just melts in your mouth. They are then dipped into chocolate and crushed walnuts and topped with a rich dulce de leche cream. These Korzinki are by far one of my most favorite desserts! They are irresistible and you are unable to stop at just one, or two, or three. Haha!!
How to prepare cookie dough tartlets-
In a bowl, combine the ingredients for the dough, mix until well incorporated.The cookie dough will be soft but not stick to your hands. All flour is different and performs differently in recipes. If the cookie dough is still sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time and mix until the dough doesn’t stick to your hands.Be sure molds are dry and clean before adding cookie dough.Push dough down to shape baskets. The thickness of the dough should be consistent all the way around for even cooking (or else some areas will burn while others may be undercooked).Bake until golden.Allow baskets to cool a bit and flip them over. The baskets should come out easily.
These are the mini tart molds we used for this recipe. I purchased 3 sets so I have enough to bake them in two batches. So quick and easy. TIP: Either wipe down the molds with a clean kitchen towel or if you will be washing them, dry them immediately.
Add chocolate and walnuts-
Dip the mini tarts in melted chocolate and fill centers with chocolate spreading the chocolate evenly. Then, dip tops of tarts into the crushed walnuts. TIP: If the chocolate begins to harden, return to heat. Set tarts aside for the chocolate to set.
Prepare the dulce de leche cream.
Prepare the rich dulce de leche cream. Be careful not to overbeat cream or it will become runny. Refrigerate cream until ready to use.
Either pipe cream into the korzinki or spoon with a tablespoon.Top with fresh raspberries if desired.For decor, I make swirls with leftover chocolate, optional.
Can Korzinki be prepared in advance?
Yes, the korzinki may be prepared in advance. The cookie mini-tarts may be prepared up to 4 days in advance. Store in a large airtight container like THIS one. Just coat with the cholate and walnuts the night before and the cream the day of serving.
Can I substitute for pecans?
Yes, the walnuts may be substituted for pecans. Keep refrigerated or in cool temperature.
