Raspberry Sauce:
1 cup raspberry juice from fresh or frozen berries
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Whispers:
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 15 count package mini phyllo shells
Chocolate leaves and dessert decorations )optional)

Prepare Raspberry Sauce by bringing juice to a boil in a small saucepan. Add cornstarch and whisk to incorporate; cook until thickened. Sauce may be made in advance and refrigerated.

In a small microwave safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and butter. Microwave on HIGH, stirring at 20 second intervals until melted and smooth.

In another small bowl, combine cream cheese and confectioners' sugar; beat until smooth.

Assemble by placing 2 tablespoons of Raspberry Sauce on each dessert plate. Place 1 or 2 phyllo shells on sauce. In each shell place a teaspoon of cream cheese mixture and a teaspoon of chocolate mixture. Serve immediately, or store in refrigerator up to 1 hour.

If desired, decorate with shaved chocolate, or Betty Crocker's Real Chocolate Dessert Decorations, available in most grocery stores.
