Yummy Raspberry Chocolate Tartlets

Do you like just a bite of sweet? I love little desserts. Little bites of sweet goodness. It’s time today to go sweet. These Yummy Raspberry Chocolate Tartlets are the winner for a quick, easy~to~eat treat for company.

If you like an easy~to~make, easy~to~eat dessert, then these yummy raspberry chocolate tartlets are for you.

Raspberry Chocolate Tartlets are a perfect little bite of dessert goodness. They would be a great sweet bite for any party, from a ladies’ Valentine’s tea to a birthday party to an after~dinner dessert tray choice.

In planning for our Kentucky Derby Party, I knew this yummy morse of chocolate would be just the right size ~ one~bite ~ for a festive occasion.

SWEET LITTLE BITES: YUMMY RASPBERRY CHOCOLATE TARTLETS

For our Derby party, I wanted a fresh raspberry taste with the decadent, light chocolate mousse filling, but something that didn’t require a fork ~ just a pop in your mouth.

In the original recipe, I used 3~inch tart shells. For a party where the guests are standing, Mini desserts are the just right.

MINI~PHYLLO SHELLS

I love to use mini~phyllo or fillo shells, depending on the brand you buy. Several different brands are available. Some are 15~count and some are 12~count, so check when you buy.

I always try to have phyllo shells in the freezer for quick appetizers or desserts. You can find these in the refrigerator or freezer section of your gourmet grocery store ~ Central Market or Whole Foods  ~ and at the regular grocery during holidays.

One of the great things about using phyllo shells in this recipe is that there is no baking ~ just assemble up to an hour before serving and place in the refrigerator. Perfect for a party.

PREPARING THE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

For the chocolate mousse, you’ll need heavy whipping cream, egg whites, and bittersweet chocolate.

Equipment

  • half sheet pan

  • spoon or rubber spatula
  • 2~cup glass measuring cup

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup bittersweet chocolate cut in chunks
  • 1 ¾ cup heavy cream chilled

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Temper chocolate in a medium saucepan, stirring until melted. Turn off the heat and let stand.

  • Whip egg whites with a hand mixer until soft peaks form, gradually adding in sugar.



  • Using a whisk, fold the tempered chocolate into the egg whites until no streaks of chocolate are present. Once fully incorporated, fold in the whipped cream. The mousse will get lighter in color. Transfer to a container, cover and refrigerate until set (about 1 hour).

Serve them on a pretty platter with a spatula. For a special party ~ aren’t all parties special? ~ I like to use a silver tray and a silver spatula. Let your guests serve themselves. I suggest making at least two per person.
