Quick Mocha Pots de Crème

No, "pot de crème" doesn't really translate as "one hedonistic dessert." But these mocha-cream tarts will make you think it does.

Ingredients

Makes 15 tarts

Start to finish: 20 minutes

1 cup semisweet chocolate pieces

1/4 cup whipping cream

1 tablespoon instant espresso coffee powder or 2 tablespoons instant coffee crystals

1 2.1-ounce package (15) baked mini phyllo dough shells

1/4 cup whipping cream, whipped

Instant espresso coffee powder or chocolate curls (optional)

Directions

For filling, in a heavy small saucepan heat and stir chocolate pieces, unwhipped cream, and espresso coffee powder over low heat until smooth. Remove from heat; let stand about 10 minutes until slightly thickened.

Spoon filling into phyllo shells. (If desired, cover and chill up to 8 hours. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.) Just before serving, top with whipped cream. If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of espresso coffee powder or chocolate curls.

Gadget Twins

Art by Lou Brooks

Gadget Twins has a rather interesting history behind it, the game was developed by a British studio and had a planned Amiga release of 1991/1992 published by Mirage. That version never saw the light of day in the end and instead it only every got a North America, Mega Drive release published by GameTek.

It's pretty obscure these days, but has a wonderful art style and some superb music from Barry Leitch & Ian Howe. The gameplay lets it down somewhat with some rather hit and miss collision and the default weapons having to limited range. a modern remake with a twin stick control system would suit this perfectly. These days you can grab the Mega Drive version on Steam.
