If you make it in a pizza pan, it's a great dessert for a pizza meal! -Susan Marshall, Colorado Springs, Colorado

MOUSSE TARTS
Rich white chocolate and whipped cream combine in these fast-to-fix berry-topped treats. Although the tarts originally called for dark chocolate, I prepare them with white chocolate. I double the recipe when I'm asked to bring a dessert to special events. They're always a hit.

Tips:
- For a rich mousse filling, use high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Make sure the cream is very cold before whipping it. This will help it to whip up quickly and smoothly.
- Don't overbeat the cream. If you do, it will become grainy and lose its smooth texture.
- To prevent the mousse from curdling, fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture gently and slowly.
- Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow it to set properly.
- Decorate the mousse tarts with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or other desired toppings.
