Indulge in the rich, decadent flavor of a homemade chocolate tartlet. This delightful pastry, with its crisp crust and luscious chocolate filling, is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored to savor its sweetness for longer.

Storage Time

3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2 months in the freezer.

Temperature

Store refrigerated at 0–4°C (32–40°F).

Freezing

To freeze chocolate tartlets, ensure they are completely cooled. Wrap each tartlet individually and tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in an airtight freezer-safe container or bag. This prevents freezer burn and preserves the delicate texture. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator for the best quality. For a quicker thaw, you can let them sit at room temperature for a couple of hours, but be mindful of condensation forming on the chocolate.

Signs of Spoilage

• Mold growth on the surface of the chocolate or crust.
• A sour or off smell emanating from the tartlet.
• A gummy or soggy crust, indicating moisture absorption and potential bacterial growth.
