Formed to look like a shallow, round dish with an open top, a Tartlet may be made as a candy such as a chocolate Tartlet or a pastry with sweet or savory filling. When prepared, the Tartlet shell may be baked first (blind baked) and then filled or filled prior to baking so the ingredients that become the filling and shell around the filling bake at the same time. Tartlets are most often served as appetizers or small dessert servings.
