No Bake Chocolate Orange Tarts

I combined a chocolate tart that I found over at Almost Bourdain with some orange and VOILA - a tart that reminded us all of a family favourite, Terry's Chocolate Orange! Warning very very rich but this didn't stop all the family eating them!!!


No Bake Chocolate Orange Tarts
(Recipe adapted from Almost Bourdain)

Makes: 10
Points: WW Danger Beware


400 grams digestive biscuits
200 grams unsalted butter, chopped
2 tablespoons golden syrup
200 grams milk chocolate, chopped
200 grams dark chocolate, chopped, plus extra melted chocolate to drizzle
1 teaspoon orange essence
4 tablespoons pure icing sugar, sifted
400 ml thickened cream, plus extra to serve
1 Terry Chocolate Orange, for decoration

Place the biscuits in a food processor and pulse to form fine crumbs. Place the butter and golden syrup in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until butter melts. then pour into processor and pulse to combine. Press the biscuit mixture into the base and sides of ten 10cm loose-bottomed tart pans. Chill until required.

Melt the milk and dark chocolate together in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (don't let the bowl touch the water). Remove from heat, stir until smooth, then allow to cool for 5 minutes. Stir in the orange essence and fold in the icing sugar.

Whip cream until soft peaks form, then fold into the chocolate mixture. Pour into the tart pans and chill for at least 2 hours until the chocolate filling is set.

Decorate with melted chocolate and wedges of Terry's Chocolate Orange.
