Chocolate Grape Tartlets
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cups California seedless grapes
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 sheets phyllo dough
- Gently brown butter in small saucepan
over low heat; watch carefully so it will not burn.
- Mix grapes, sugar, flour, cocoa, vanilla
and cinnamon.
- Working quickly, cut sheets of phyllo
dough into 4-inch squares. Place squares between waxed paper
and cover with towel.
- Lightly grease bottom of each cup in a
standard muffin tin with browned butter. Place 2 squares phyllo
dough in each cup, brush lightly with browned butter, repeat
with 2 more squares and brush with browned butter again. (There
will be four layers of phyllo dough squares in each cup of the
muffin tin.) Fill each with 1/4 cup grape mixture. Sprinkle any
remaining cocoa mixture in bottom of bowl over grapes.
- Cut trimmings of phyllo dough into short
narrow strips; sprinkle about 1 tablespoon over filling in each
muffin cup. Drizzle remaining butter over top.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) 35 to 40
minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly; remove from
muffin tins.
Makes 12 servings.
Tip: You can also add a scoop of ice cream
to these.
