Ingredients (Makes 8-10 small tarts)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups crushed biscuits (any plain or digestive biscuits work well)
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 jar Nutella (or any chocolate spread)
- Dried edible roses and crushed pistachios for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- In a blender or electric mixer, beat the eggs with sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes pale, creamy, and doubles in volume.
- Add the vegetable oil and mix well until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the crushed biscuits with the baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the egg batter and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Grease small tart molds or muffin tins. Pour the batter into the molds, filling them about ¾ full. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 12-15 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.
- Once cooled, spread a generous layer of Nutella on top of each tart. Decorate with dried edible roses and crushed pistachios for a beautiful and elegant finish.
Tips for Success
- Use any plain biscuits you have — digestive, tea biscuits, or Marie biscuits all work well.
- Do not overmix the batter after adding the biscuits to keep the tarts soft and tender.
- Let the tarts cool completely before adding Nutella so it doesn’t melt too much.
- You can use a regular muffin tray if you don’t have small tart molds.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Try different toppings like fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or coconut flakes for variety.
