  2. Melt the butter and chocolate. Whisk the eggs and sugar over a pan of simmering water until the mixture holds a trail, then fold in the chocolate mixture, orange juice and zest, and flour. Pour into the tart case and bake for 15-20 minutes or until just set. Cool. Dust with cocoa powder and decorate with slices of candied peel.

    Gave this a whirl. I do have a sweet tooth so made a sweet crust pastry, and served it with some vanilla marscapone cream. Lush.

    This was lovely and moist but next time I wouldn't bother with pastry.I will just use it as a cake mixture splitting it and putting fruit and cream inside.

    Lovely taste and texture. I added orange essence to give it even more flavour. I did have trouble trying to whisk the eggs and sugar over boiling water though!

    I think that this dish is simply delicious! I always make my own pastry from the shortcrust pastry recipe which is really nice and crumbly. The filling is so rich and creamy, and everyone I serve it to seem to love it:) I would highly recommend!

    Gorgeous. If you use a ready-made pastry case like I did then use only half of the recipe for the filling. Also, I only waited a little untill the chocolate mixture cools down then I added the eggs and sugar but didn't bother doing in over a pan of simmering water. I turned out great and was really quick. I'd definitely make this tart again.
