How to Make Chocolate Orange Tart

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Melt 100g dark chocolate and 100g butter together in a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan until smooth. Stir until combined.
  3. Add 200g digestive biscuit crumbs and mix thoroughly. Press the mixture firmly into a 22cm fluted round, loose-bottomed tin, ensuring an even base and sides.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Meanwhile, whisk together 2 large eggs, 100ml double cream, 1 tablespoon orange zest, and 200g orange curd in a bowl using a fork or hand whisk (avoid electric mixers).
  6. Pour the orange curd mixture evenly over the chilled biscuit base.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is just set. The center might still appear slightly soft but will firm up as it cools.
  8. Let the tart cool completely in the tin before removing.
  9. Melt 50g dark chocolate and drizzle over the cooled tart.
  10. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving for optimal flavor and texture.
