    This was very straight forward to prepare, but was a bit too 'heavy' for me. I served it with fresh raspberies & cream, which lightened it a bit. If I made it again, I think I'd cook it for less time, as mine was slightly dry.

    I made this recipe as one large tart rather than four small onesfor a birthday party buffet and was surprised at how quick and easy it was. I made it earlier in the day and kept it in the fridge. No one commented on whether it was good or not but I personally thought it was really nice and I'm not usually a fan of dark chocolate. (I'm not sure that people completely registered it had been hand made when none of the other stuff was).

    I made 24 minature tarts, they were so quick and simple to make - my 2yr old even helped! I put all of the chocolate in the tarts and didn't put cocoa on top as I thought that would be too much, instead they had a big blob of cream on top and they were delicious.
