Instructions
Roll out a 1/2 sheet of pastry dough and cut a heart shape. For this recipe I used a heart pie dish (6 x 5 inches).
Place on baking sheet, lined with parchment paper.
With a fork, prick the center of each heart of puff pastry, leaving about ½ inch border untouched. Be careful not to pierce the dough all the way down.
Whip the egg white with the cream of tartar. Gradually add sugar and salt until the whipped egg white shows stiff peaks.
Melt the chocolate and finely chop the pine nuts.
Fold melted chocolate and chopped pine nuts into the whipped egg white until combined.
Scoop the chocolate mousse on the pastry dough heart, only on the area that you pricked with the fork.
Mix an egg yolk with a little bit of water and baste the exposed dough with it. Sprinkle that egg wash with turbinado sugar.
Place the baking dish in an oven heated to 425 degrees F and bake for 10-15 minutes.
