These tartlets use a butter cookie dough. The baskets are melt-in-your-mouth delicious. They are then soaked in strong coffee. The baskets are covered with melted chocolate and topped with delicate mascarpone cream. Perfection in every bite.

These Tiramisu Tartlets which are Korzinki in Russian (translating baskets) were inspired by our popular Korzinki with Cream. If you haven’t tried them, you are missing out! One of my absolute favorite recipes on our entire blog – yes, that good.

The ingredients for this recipe may surprise you. Yes, mayo is added and no you cannot taste it at all. You’d never know it was an ingredient if I didn’t tell you. 🙂 It’s a key ingredient as it makes the butter tartlets soft and so delicate.

  • 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. Add additional flour one tablespoon at a time if needed.
  • Wipe down the mini tartlet molds with a dry kitchen rag or paper towel and add the 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 fall out easily.

NOTE: These are the molds we use for the tartlets.
