CHOCOLATE GANACHE TARTS

CHOCOLATE GANACHE TARTS

½ cup butter
1 pkg. (3-oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup milk chocolate chips
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
Whipped cream, fresh raspberries and confectioners’ sugar (optional)

In a small bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until blended, beat in flour. Drop dough by scant tablespoonfuls into greased miniature muffin cups; press onto bottom and up the sides.

Bake at 325^ for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire rack to cool completely.

In a small saucepan, melt chocolate chips with cream over low heat; stir until blended. Transfer to a small bowl; cover and refrigerate until firm.

Beat chocolate mixture until soft peaks form. Pipe or spoon into tart shells. Garnish with whipped cream, raspberries and confectioners’ sugar if desired.
