Ingredients
  • 2 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour blend*
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder
  • 1 cup butter (2 sticks), softened
  • 1½ cup whipping cream
  • 2¼ cup (1 12-oz bag) gluten-free semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Position the oven rack in the center of the oven.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and xanthan gum. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Form the mixture into one big ball.
  3. Knead until smooth. Separate the dough into 6 even balls, press the dough evenly into 5-or 6-inch tart pans.
  4. Bake until firm in the center, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
  5. In a medium saucepan, bring the whipping cream to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate chips. Let stand for five minutes, then stir until smooth. Cool for 15 minutes.
  6. Fill each tart with the chocolate ganache. Let cool completely before removing from the pan. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Serve cold.
