Tart Shell
Ingredients:
125g butter
60g icing sugar
250g unbleached plain flour
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla essence

Method:
1. Sift flour and icing sugar into mixing bowl. Rub butter into flour mixture until resembles coarse crumbs. 
2. Add in egg, vanilla essence. Shape dough into ball and refrigerate before using.
3. Divide the dough, and shape it. Prick some holes with a fork onto the pastry shell. Bake at 160C for 20 minutes or until light golden brown. 
4. Cool for 5 minutes. Remove crust from pan or mold. Fill when completely cool.

Chocolate Ganache Filling
200g Chocolate
100ml whipping cream
2tbsp soft butter

Method:
1. Chop chocolate and place into a deep bowl.
2. Heat cream just until it starts to boil, then pour over chocolate and let sit for several minutes until chocolate has melted.
3. Use a whisk or spatula to begin stirring in lazy circles starting from the middle until mixture is uniform.
4. Add butter in small pieces and continue mixing gently until ganache is once again uniform.
5. Mixture should be thick enough to go straight into the crusts, but if runny, refrigerate for a few minutes until it thickens.

Assembly
Pour Chocolate Ganache filling into baked tart shells. Garnish with nuts or icing deco. Chill tarts until ready to serve. Remove 30 minutes before serving to allow filling to soften a bit.
