Mini Chocolate Ganache Tarts (Ready-to-Print Version)

Rich mini tarts with smooth chocolate ganache in crisp phyllo shells, ideal for hand held dessert appetizers.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Shells

01 - 3 packages phyllo shells

→ Filling

02 - 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
03 - ¾ cup heavy cream

→ Optional toppings

04 - Caramel, fruit, or sea salt

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Warm heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer; avoid boiling.
02 - Pour hot cream over chopped bittersweet chocolate and let sit for one minute. Whisk gently until smooth and fully combined.
03 - Spoon the ganache evenly into phyllo shells. This mixture yields approximately 30 filled shells.
04 - Place the filled shells in the refrigerator to allow the ganache to harden.
05 - Optionally decorate the set ganache with caramel drizzle, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of sea salt.
06 - If using caramel squares, melt in the microwave with a splash of water for 30 seconds, stirring until pourable; alternatively, use caramel syrup.
07 - Allow tarts to rest at room temperature for several minutes before serving.

# Handy Tips:

01 - For make-ahead convenience, chill uncovered in the refrigerator, then cover tightly with plastic wrap before decorating just prior to serving.
02 - Nutritional values do not include optional toppings.
