Method:

• Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water.
• Boil the cream and milk and mix into the melted chocolate.
• Mix the eggs together but don’t beat and aerate them, then add these to the cream and chocolate mix.
• Pour into your tart case and bake at 95°.
• Check after 20 minutes: gently tap the tart, you are looking for a light wobble to the custard in the centre. It may need 10 mins more but remember the tart will continue to cook after it has been removed from the oven.
• Once baked, leave to cool and set at room temperature for at least an hour before placing in the fridge.
