Brownie Tarts



Before...



After...



I know this is another chocolate dessert, but what can I say..chocolates are my best friend :). Found this on allrecipes while leisure surfing and I had to try it. I ransacked my kitchen and found that I had no pecans or cherries so I had to ommit them from the original recipe. Good thing I had some cream cheese in the fridge, waiting for me to use it. Recipe as below. Enjoy!

Brownie Tarts (makes around 15. I think I used a 6.5cm tart mould for this)

Part I: Shell

½ cup butter

3 oz (85g) cream cheese

1 cup all-purpose flour

-         cream butter and cheese well

-         add flour – mix well to form soft dough

-         chill for 1 hour in plastic wrap

-         make small balls and press into moulds to make the shell

Part II: Filling

½ cup semi-sweet choc chips

2tbsp butter

½ cup castor sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

½ cup chopped pecan (optional)

-         melt the choc chips & butter in a small saucepan

-         remove from heat, let it cool slightly and stir in sugar, egg and vanilla

-         pour into shell

-         bake until brown (I am using a small oven so I baked mine at 150C for 15-20 minutes)

Selling price: RM 17 for 15 tarts. (I can make smaller sized tarts to get 24 tarts at the same price)
