These tarts are devilishly rich in chocolate – thank heaven they are so easy to make.

 

Makes 4 tarts

 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup whipping cream

6 squares (1 oz. each) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped

1/2 teaspoon vanilla or rum extract

4 mini graham cracker pie crusts

Whipped cream and strawberry slices (optional)

 

Instructions:

1. Place whipping cream in 2-quart microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH, 1- 1-1/2 minutes or until cream begins to bubble. Add chopped chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
2. Evenly fill pie crusts with chocolate mixture. Refrigerate 2-4 hours or until filling is set. Top each tart with whipped cream and strawberry slices, if desired.

 

Ingredient Tip

Premium baking chocolate bars and squares are widely available in the baking section of supermarkets.

 

Timing Tip

If refrigerating tarts for a longer period of time, remove from refrigerator 45 minutes before serving.

 

Microwave Tip

If chocolate does not melt completely, return bowl to microwave. Microwave on HIGH, 20-30 seconds, stirring at end of cooking until chocolate is smooth.
