Rich chocolate ganache filling in crisp phyllo shells, chilled and topped with caramel, fruit or sea salt.

# List of Ingredients:

→ Shells

01 - 3 packages phyllo shells

→ Ganache Filling

02 - 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
03 - ¾ cup heavy cream

→ Optional Decorations

04 - Caramel drizzle, fresh fruit, or sea salt

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Warm heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it simmers, avoiding boiling, then remove from heat.
02 - Pour the hot cream over chopped bittersweet chocolate and let sit for one minute to melt, then whisk until smooth.
03 - Spoon the ganache evenly into the phyllo shells; this should fill about 30 shells.
04 - Place filled shells in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to firm up.
05 - Once hardened, garnish with caramel drizzle, berries, or a sprinkle of sea salt as desired.
06 - If using caramel squares, microwave with a splash of water for 30 seconds and stir until drizzle consistency is achieved, or use store-bought caramel syrup.
07 - Allow tarts to stand at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

# Additional Suggestions:

01 - For best results when making ahead, chill tarts uncovered in the refrigerator, then cover with plastic wrap and decorate just before serving.
02 - Nutritional values are calculated without toppings.
