Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces high quality chocolate chopped finely (I prefer milk chocolate, but dark is fine)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Additional chocolate chopped nuts, fresh berries, or whipped cream for decorating (optional)

Method
 

  1. In small saucepan, combine cream, butter, and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it begins to bubble. Remove from heat, and whisk in vanilla extract.
  2. Pour hot cream mixture over chocolate. Let sit for 5 minutes, and then stir gently until smooth and glossy. Pour into 12 mini tart shells, and allow to cool completely. Cover and refrigerate cooled tarts for 3 hours.
  3. Before serving, decorate with drizzled chocolate, fresh berries, or whipped cream, if desired. Store leftovers in refrigerator in air-tight container.
