These delicate, delicious, adorable little tarts are an explosion of contrasting textures and flavors: They feature crisp phyllo shells, a creamy chocolate filling made with powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, bittersweet chocolate, and low-fat cream cheese, as well as ripe strawberries. Spread the bottom of each tart with some strawberry jam first, then top with the chocolate filling, the whipped topping, and a strawberry half, and they're ready to go. You can serve them toward the end of a cocktail party as a sweet hors d’oeuvre. Without the mint sprig garnish, the tarts can be assembled and refrigerated for up to 6 hours, so you can get them all set to go before party time.
