Mini Chocolate Ganache Tarts (Printer-Friendly Version)

Rich chocolate ganache in crisp phyllo shells makes a delightful handheld treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Shells

01 - 3 packages phyllo shells

→ Ganache Filling

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

→ Optional Toppings

04 - Caramel drizzle, fresh fruit, or sea salt

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Warm heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it gently simmers, avoiding boiling. Remove from heat.
02 - Pour the hot cream over chopped bittersweet chocolate. Let sit for one minute to soften and then whisk until smooth and fully combined.
03 - Spoon the chocolate ganache into phyllo shells evenly. This amount yields approximately 30 tarts.
04 - Place the filled shells in the refrigerator and chill until the ganache hardens, about 1 hour.
05 - Optionally, melt caramel squares with a splash of water in the microwave for 30 seconds and stir until pourable, or use pre-made caramel syrup for drizzling. Garnish with caramel, fruit, or sprinkle sea salt as desired.
06 - Allow the tarts to rest at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for optimal flavor.

# Additional Tips:

01 - For make-ahead preparation, chill tarts uncovered initially, then cover tightly with plastic wrap and decorate just before serving. Nutritional data excludes toppings.
