Chocolate Orange Tart

Chocolate and orange is one of my favourite combinations. The chocolatey biscuit base of this tart is really easy and makes a great change from pastry. When I bake this I use Rita's Lemon Curd (Stove Top or Microwave Method) Lime or Orange Curd and with having zest in the curd recipe, I leave that out of the tart recipe. When mixing the ingredients, don't beat with an electric mixer, or too much air will be incorporated and the mixture will over-rise in the oven.
