Categories     Chocolate     Cherry     Chill

Yield 8 mini tarts

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon whole milk
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup sugar-free cherry jam
Spray whipping cream (the real kind in the can in the dairy section)

Steps:

  • Spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Put the chocolate and milk into a heat-safe bowl and place over a pot of gently simmering water. Stir until melted and smooth. This can also be done in the microwave in a glass or plastic bowl by heating the chocolate on Low for a minute or two, stirring it until melted and smooth. Next, stir in the pecans until well mixed. Put a heaping tablespoon of the mixture into 8 portions of the muffin tin. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, lightly press the mixture into the sides and bottom of each portion, creating a cup shape. Chill for 15 minutes.
  • Once chilled, use a thin butter knife or icing spatula to release the chocolate cups from the tin. Place them on a serving platter. Fill each cup with a tablespoon of the jam, and top with a spritz of whipped cream.
