Ingredients

  • 6 oz. cream cheese or mascarpone cheese
  • 1/3 c confectioners sugar
  • 2 T unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 T milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract(can substitute vanilla with a little bit of brandy or rum flavoring to give it a little more bite)
  • Mini frozen phyllo cups
  • 1/2 c frozen non-dairy whipped topping, thawed
  • 3/4 cup mixed berries (optional)
  • 1/4 c semi-sweet chocolate shavings or curls

Preparation

Step 1



In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer at medium speed, beat the cream cheese (or mascarpone cheese, if using), confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, milk and vanilla; with a rubber spatula, fold in the whipped topping. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour.

Fill the phyllo cups with the cocoa mixture; top with the berries (if using) and sprinkle with the chocolate shavings or chocolate curls.

Rather than dirty your pastry bag, snip a small hole in the corner of a plastic food storage bag and fit with a tip before spooning in the filling. If you don't have a tip, don't worry, you can still pipe the mixture from the hole.
