2.1 ounce package baked miniature phyllo dough shells
-
1 1/2
cups dark chocolate pieces or chopped dark chocolate bar (9 ounces)
-
1/4
cup whipping cream
-
3
tablespoons packed brown sugar
-
1
tablespoon coffee-flavor liqueur or brewed coffee
-
1/2
teaspoon instant espresso powder
-
1/2
teaspoon vanilla
-
1
8 ounce container whipped cream cheese
-
Unsweetened cocoa powder
-
Chopped chocolate-covered coffee beans or chopped dark chocolate (optional)
1. Open phyllo shells, leaving shells in tray; set aside.
2. In a small saucepan melt the 1-1/2 cups dark chocolate and whipping cream over low heat, stirring occasionally. Divide melted chocolate mixture evenly among the bottoms of the phyllo shells; set aside.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together brown sugar, coffee liqueur, espresso powder, and vanilla; stir until espresso powder dissolves. Add cream cheese and stir until well combined. Spoon a small amount of cream cheese mixture over chocolate mixture in each shell. (Or, place cream cheese mixture in a resealable plastic bag, cut off a small piece of one corner, and pipe cheese mixture onto chocolate filling.) Cover tartlets loosely and chill until set (about 30 minutes). Once set, tartlets can be covered tightly and chilled overnight.
4. Remove tartlets 30 minutes before serving. Sprinkle each lightly with a little cocoa powder. If desired, top each with chopped coffee beans or chopped chocolate.
5. Makes 30 tartlets

Brought these to a Christmas party last year. Everyone went crazy over them!! Easy to make, looked elegant and were so rich and flavorful. I do agree, MUST be served room temp. They have already been requested for this years party!! Will be making a double batch this year so I can leave a few at home for us!

The chocolate layer stays hard for quite a while and makes them kind of hard to eat and therefore you don't taste the choc. part as well as you should. If you don't putter around w/ piping the filling, run out to buy a shaker for the cocoa and run around town to find chocolate covered coffee beans---they are quite easy to make!
