Chocolate Ganache Tarts

Category: Tarts

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 pkg ( 3 oz ) cream cheese, softened
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 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 bottoms 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 racks 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.
