Mini Chocolate Cherry Bites

A classic—like biting into a chocolate-covered cherry, only lower in carbs, and better!

Recipe information

  • Yield

    8 mini tarts

Ingredients

4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon whole milk
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup sugar-free cherry jam
Spray whipping cream (the real kind in the can in the dairy section)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

    Step 2

    Put the chocolate and milk into a heat-safe bowl and place over a pot of gently simmering water. Stir until melted and smooth. This can also be done in the microwave in a glass or plastic bowl by heating the chocolate on Low for a minute or two, stirring it until melted and smooth. Next, stir in the pecans until well mixed. Put a heaping tablespoon of the mixture into 8 portions of the muffin tin. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, lightly press the mixture into the sides and bottom of each portion, creating a cup shape. Chill for 15 minutes.

    Step 3

    Once chilled, use a thin butter knife or icing spatula to release the chocolate cups from the tin. Place them on a serving platter. Fill each cup with a tablespoon of the jam, and top with a spritz of whipped cream.
