Cocoa shortbread :

Pour the beaten egg into the center, mix well and mash the dough with the palm of your hand to make it smooth, without overworking it.
-
Shape 2 balls of dough and wrap in cling film. Chill for at least 2 hours.
-
Chocolate mousse :
Heat the milk and cream. Off the heat, add the finely chopped chocolate and smooth with a spatula to melt the chocolate. Add the butter and smooth again. Finally, fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites. -
Place the mousse in the fridge for 1 hour.
-
Roll out the chocolate shortbread dough in 4 parchment paper-lined tartlet molds. Prick the pastry base with a fork and cover with chickpeas or porcelain marbles to weigh down the pastry. Place in the oven and bake for 12 minutes at Th. 6 (180° C).
-
Turn the tartlets out onto a wire rack to cool the pastry bases. Coarsely crush the nougatine and sprinkle over the tartlet bases before covering with the chocolate mousse.
