Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, cream together caster sugar and cubed butter until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Crack in the egg and whisk until fully combined. Slowly add the plain flour, mixing gently with a spatula until a dough forms.
- Lightly knead the dough on a floured surface just until smooth, then wrap it tightly in cling film. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the dough.
- After chilling, unwrap the dough and roll it out to about 5mm thick. Use a round cutter to cut discs that fit your tart tins.
- Remove the tart tins from the fridge and place them in a preheated oven. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- In a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, combine double cream and butter. Stir until melted and then gradually stir in finely chopped chocolate until smooth.
- Carefully pour the ganache into each cooled tart shell, ensuring an even fill. Let chill in the fridge for about 20 minutes.
- Once set, gently remove the tarts from their tins and slice into pieces. Serve chilled, garnished with fresh berries or whipped cream.

Notes
Use high-quality chocolate and avoid overbaking for the best results. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for 2 months.
