  Really yummy tarts with an interesting texture but very filling, I suggest making smaller portions if serving after a big meal. I served with vanilla ice cream and some strawberries which balanced out the richness of the chocolate.

  very easy to do - made lots of mini ones to pop in the freezer and worked really well. Quite rich - lovely warm with cream!!!

  Lovely! I used hazelnuts instead of macadamia. Only complaint though is that my pastry took longer than state to cook - but I may not have rolled it thin enough.

  Absolutely amazing, made for Valentines pudding and they were great. Made with homemade sweet shortcrust pastry. By accident i overheated the chocolate and cream a little until it stiffened but just gently mix it into the eggs in small amounts until it softens again and combines properly.

  So yummy, I made because I needed a chocolate fix, not something I do very often! It was light and delicious, even my husband ate it and he hates chocolate.

  I love any puddings I can freeze beforehand and the cooking instructions worked perfectly for me. General delighted amazement from my guests. They are rich (though not too rich for me!) so I'd agree some pouring cream is a must. Cooked mine in the size tins recommended but would be interested in finding some smaller tins to be able to serve slightly smaller portions. Btw - my pastry and choc mixture made 5 - just as well as my daughter would have killed me if there hadn't been one for her to try!
