Preparation
- Beat together unsalted butter and superfine sugar until creamy and combined. Add in the egg and mix until fully integrated.
- Gradually incorporate all-purpose flour, baking powder, and lemon zest until a soft dough forms.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Process raw almonds and dark chocolate in a food processor until they form coarse crumbs.
- Heat whole milk in a saucepan until warm, then stir in the processed mixture, sugar, cocoa powder, rum, and cinnamon.
- Allow to cool slightly, then whisk in an egg yolk.
- In a clean bowl, whip egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold into the chocolate almond mixture.
- Roll out chilled dough and cut circles to fit mini tart pans. Spoon filling into each shell, cover with smaller circles and seal the edges.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake for 15-18 minutes until golden.
- Cool in pans for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
