Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

Lay a sheet of cooking parchment on a baking sheet. Sit an 8-inch (20 cm) tart ring on this.

Roll out 250 g sweetcrust pastry (pâte sablée) and line the tart ring, leaving a little pastry overhanging around the edge.

Put to wait in the fridge.

Stage 2 - 2 min.

Prepare 900 g paris flan filling in "chocolate" version.

Stage 3 - 3 min.

Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C).

Take the pastry case out of the fridge and trim off the overhanging pastry around the edge.

Stage 4 - 3 min.

Pour the custard filling into the pastry case...

Stage 5 - 50 min.

...and bake for about 50 minutes.

Stage 6

Leave to cool before slipping off the ring. You can eat this right away, but it will be even better next day if left overnight in the fridge first.

Remarks

You can make this with milk chocolate instead of dark, if you prefer.

Fancy even more chocolate? Use chocolate sweetcrust pastry instead of the usual plain.

Keeping: 2 or 3 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
