Chocolate Tart
Recipe
This is my favorite recipe. Blows me away every time. It is delicious when served slightly warm, about 40 minutes after cooking. The pastry is quick and easy to make as it is all done in the food processor. This pastry is excellent for all sweet tarts.

Pastry
- Beat the flour, butter and sugar in a food processor until crumbs are formed.

- Wrap the dough in Saran wrap and chill for 30 minutes
- Roll out the dough evenly and place on the preheated Crisper pan, making sure it covers the whole surface, including the sides.

Filling
- Warm the cream to just below boiling point

- Lightly whisk the egg and additional egg yolk in a cup and pour into the chocolate mixture. Stir in thoroughly.
- Pour the filling into the pastry case and microwave for 6 minutes on a medium setting.
