Chocolate Mousse in Phyllo Cups

[RossDeb2]

I'm making this tomorrow for a party. Do I need to oil the muffin stone(new) before putting the phyllo in? Do I put the squares in the tin, buttered sides down or up? Any tips for making this?

Are you making these from phyloo dough or getting the already made phyylo dough cups? Those are what I used, and I did not even have to bake them ( I think it has been a while since I used them),

Also, there is a tart recipe with the tart shaper that I have now use for mine and put the mousse in them instead of that phyllo cups b/c it is a lot cheaper and most every ingredient is something I keep in my pantry.

Hi! Yes, it's always a good idea to lightly oil a new muffin stone before using it for the first time. As for the phyllo, I would suggest placing the squares in the tin with the buttered side facing up, as this will help them crisp up nicely. As for tips, make sure to work quickly with the phyllo as it can dry out easily. Also, consider adding some herbs or spices to the butter for extra flavor. Good luck with your party!
