Chocolate Mushroom Vol-au-Vents
Savoury vegetarian chocolate canapés, starters or party food. Creamy mushrooms enhanced with a little chocolate and served in puff pastry cases. Retro they might be, but they're great finger food and wonderfully delicious.

Instructions
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium to low heat, then sauté the onions for a few minutes.
Clean and slice the mushrooms, then add them to the pan.
Add the garlic and the thyme leaves. Stir and leave to cook for five minutes.
Add the balsamic vinegar and chocolate and leave to simmer for a couple of minutes.
Add a the cream, cream cheese and pepper. Turn off the heat and stir until the cheese had melted and all is nicely combined.
Heat the vol-au-vent cases in the oven at 170℃ (150℃ fan, 338℉, Gas 3) for 5 minutes.
Cut out the middle square with a sharp knife.
Divide the filling between the cases and place the cut out square on top to act as a lid or maybe a jaunty hat.
Can serve at room temperature, but they're at their best warm.
