Ingredients

½ cup whipping cream
3 ½ ounces (100 g) dark chocolate finely chopped
8 tart shells baked and cooled
1 cup blood orange curd
Candied orange slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the cream just until it begins to steam and bubbles begin to form around the edges.
While the cream is heating, place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and stir until smooth.
Spoon 1 tablespoon of chocolate ganache into each tart shell. Chill in the refrigerator until set, about 20 minutes.
Dollop 2 tablespoons of curd on top of each tart and garnish with a candied orange slice, if desired.

Notes

Don't let the whipping cream boil as this may cause it to separate.
Be sure to chop the chocolate finely so that it melts smoothly. If the pieces are too big, the ganache will cool before the chocolate is fully melted.
