  Absolutely brilliant dessert, it very nearly won me a cookery competetion. It doesn't really need the 70grams of plain flour, with the flour it becomes sponge like, but with out the flour it is very smooth and if you have no pastry it would make an ideal mousse. Brilliant dish!

  I made this in individual tart cases and served it with berries. You can make half the quantity for 12 tart cases! It was absolutely fantastic and I am about to make it for another party as very simple but very impressive. Does not need the toffee sauce or the ice cream if serving with fruit. This time I am going to do caramelised satsumas with it.

  Quite nice. The chocolate filling is quite moussey as someone else mentioned. It's very light, which might be what you want, but I thought it was too light - too much like cake, and not chocolatey or rich enough.

  I found that once I got it out the oven and drizzled on the chocolate that inside it was still quite runny, a few hours in the fridge helped to achieve the mousse texture it should have had. Its a really nice recipe and its so easy to make. Using homemade pastry is nicer !

  We made this dessert for Valentines evening dessert. What a success espeically if you serve with some coulis and extra thick double cream or icecream.

  So simple to make, and utterly devine!!! I left out the coffee granules and flour, and stirred 3 tbsp of cocoa powder (I made a 20 cm tart so only used 1/3 of the ingredients, so use 5 tbsp for a 24 cm tart) into the melted chocolate and butter. I didn't bother with the extra drizzling either.

  Really easy to do and looks great. I didn't need quite all the mixture to fill my pastry but I had used large eggs. To get a neat edge on the pastry I trimmed it after I had cooked it blind using a vegetable peeler - top tip from a chef I know.

  I made this for my wife who loves sweet desserts. The recipe turned out as exepected but for me (and surprisingly my wife, the pudding head) it was much too sweet. This won't deter me making it again but the next time I'll use far less sugar as well as try making it without the flour (as another reader suggested). For the sweet pastry I got my recipe from http://thefoody.com/baking/sweetshortcrustpastry.html which was excellent!

  Nice tart. However it was too rich for me so it should've only had 100g sugar

  Did this totally dairy free and it was amazing!! I halved the recipe but still reduced the amount of chocolate to 75g and sugar to 100g and it was lovely. I made my own pastry too following a delia recipe!
