Servings: persons

1
Preheat the oven to 350u00b0F. Grease twenty four 1 1/2-inch fluted mini brioche pans
2
Lightly roll out pie crusts on floured surface. Using a 3 1/2-inch cookie cutter, cut 24 rounds from pie crusts. Press pastry rounds into pans; prick bottoms with a fork. Bake for 10 mins, or until pastry is golden; cool.
3
Place brandy in a heatproof bowl. Sprinkle with gelatine. Place in a small saucepan of simmering water; stir until gelatine has dissolved. Cool for 5 mins.
4
Place milk and coffee in a small saucepan on medium-high heat. Stir until coffee has dissolved and mixture comes almost to a boil.
5
Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bowl to touch water). Stir until chocolate is completely melted.
6
Beat egg yolks and sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until mixture is light and frothy. Gradually beat in hot coffee mixture. Return mixture to pan; stir on low heat with a wooden spoon until mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon (do not boil). Remove pan from heat. Whisk in gelatine mixture, then chocolate. Cool to room temperature.
7
Meanwhile, beat cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Fold cream into chocolate mixture. Fill crusts with mousse. Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.

To serve, top each tartlet with a raspberry and dust with sifted cocoa.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
