Chocolate custard tart

Serves 12

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 45 minutes, plus 4 hours’ chilling time

Cooking Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

For the base:

1 x 200 g box Romany Creams, crushed
100 g butter, melted

For the filling:

1 cup cream
1⁄3 cup milk
4 T sugar
200 g dark or milk chocolate, chopped
4 free-range eggs yolks, separated
2 T cornflour

For the meringue:

100 g caster sugar
egg whites (see above)

Method

1. Place the biscuits and butter in a bowl and mix well. Press into the base of a 22 cm greased round cake tin. Chill for 20 minutes.

2. To make the filling, gently heat the cream, milk and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat, add the chocolate, egg yolks and cornflour and whisk well.

3. Return to a low heat and cook for 10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and bubbles slightly. Cool slightly.

4. Pour over the chilled base and chill for 4 hours or until set.

5. When set and ready to serve beat the caster sugar and egg whites until thick and glossy. Spoon onto the tart and char the top using a blowtorch.
