Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C and grease a 28cm tart case with butter.
  • Pulse the butter and flour in a food processor until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.
  • Mix the breadcrumb mixture with icing sugar and vanilla seeds in a bowl.
  • Add one beaten egg and knead by hand into a dough, then chill for 30 minutes.
  • Roll the pastry to 35cm diameter, line the tin, add baking beans, and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Remove beans, prick with a fork, and bake for 5 minutes until golden-brown.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 130°C.
  • Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water.
  • Boil the milk and cream in a pan and pour over the melted chocolate.
  • Add two beaten eggs to the chocolate mixture and stir until smooth.
  • Pour the filling into the crust and bake for 25 minutes until set.
  • Serve slices of cooled tart with a spoonful of clotted cream.
