1

Prepare the Tart Shells

Start by preheating your oven to the temperature recommended on the tart shell packaging. Follow the instructions to make the tart shells and bake them until golden and crisp. Let them cool completely before moving on to the next step.

2

Create the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and whipping cream. Beat them together until smooth and creamy. Spoon the filling into the cooled tart shells, leaving a little room at the top for the mirror glaze.

3

Make the Mirror Glaze

Place the gelatin sheets in a bowl of cold water and let them soften for about 5 minutes. In a saucepan, combine the water, sugar, corn syrup, and cocoa powder. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and add the softened gelatin, stirring until completely dissolved. Let the glaze cool to about 90°F (32°C).

Mirror Glaze Magic

Place your filled tarts on a wire rack with a baking sheet underneath to catch any drips. Pour the mirror glaze over the tarts, starting from the center and working your way out to the edges. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes, and then transfer the tarts to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.

5

Serve and Be Enchanted

Once the mirror glaze has set and the tarts are chilled, it's time to serve! Admire their enchanting mirror finish, take a bite, and let the flavors transport you to a whimsical world of deliciousness. Enjoy!
