How to Make Chocolate Chess Tartlets

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ cup yellow cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted, and ½ teaspoon salt until smooth.
  3. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
  4. Spoon 1 heaping teaspoon of the chocolate mixture into each phyllo cup. (You will likely need approximately 60 phyllo cups.)
  5. Arrange filled phyllo cups on ungreased baking sheets.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tartlets are set and the edges are slightly firm.
  7. Let cool completely on a wire rack before garnishing.
  8. Garnish with whipped cream or whipped topping.
  9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
