"This is a great recipe for a shower, tea, or just anytime. You can make the tartlets ahead of time and freeze. Just add the cream filling just before serving. A good friend gave me this recipe."

2. In medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Add 3/4 cup cocoa and 1 cup sugar, stirring until well blended. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Stir in flour and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. In small mixer bowl, beat egg whites with 1 tablespoons sugar until soft peaks form; gradually fold into chocolate mixture. Spoon batter into small foil muffin cups. Bake 5-6 minutes, or just until puffed and rounded on top. Cool on wire racks. At this point, you may freeze the tartlets.
