    • Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the paper and beans, brush with egg yolk and bake for another 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
    • For the filling, bring the cream and sugar to the boil, then pour over the chocolate, orange zest, butter and vanilla, and whisk well until glossy.
    • Spoon or pour into the tart case and chill for at least 3 hours.
