You will need a 20 cm round, loose bottom flan tin
Roll out the pastry to the thickness of a £1 coin. Using a round pastry cutter, cut into 16 circles and use to line the tin. Prick the bases with a fork and chill for 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200ºC/180ºC Fan/Gas 6. Line the pastry case with a circle of greaseproof paper and fill with baking beans. Bake for 10 minutes until golden, remove the baking paper and beans and return to the oven for a further 5 minutes. Leave to cool.
Place the cream and glucose into a pan and heat gently. Break up the chocolate and add to the hot cream stirring until melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter. Beat until smooth.
Pour the filling into the cooled tart case and place in the fridge for about 2 hours until set.
Sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles, grated chocolate or chocolate curls
