Coffee Chocolate Tarts

300g store-bought chocolate shortcrust pastry (see tips + tricks)
½ cup pouring cream
150g dark chocolate, chopped
½ tablespoons coffee-flavoured liqueur
Sea salt flakes, for sprinkling

Preheat oven to 180 C. Using a 12cm cookie cutter, cut 4 rounds from the pastry. Place 4 x 7.5 cm metal rings (2.5 cm high) on a lightly greased baking tray lined with non-stick baking

Trim the excess pastry with a sharp knife and prick the bottom of the pastry cases with a fork. Line with non-stick baking paper and fill with baking weights. Bake for 15 minutes, remove the baking weights and bake for a further 5 minutes or until just cooked. Allow to cool.

Place the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat, add the chocolate and stir to combine. Allow to stand for 5 minutes before stirring until melted and smooth. Add the liqueur and stir to combine.

Pour the mixture into the pastry shells and refrigerate for 1 hour or until set.

Sprinkle with sea salt to serve.
