  • Preheat the oven to 200C(180C fan)/400F/Gas 6.
  • Dust the work surface with flour then roll out the pastry as thinly as you can to a circle about 5cm/2in larger than your flan tin.
  • Line the tin with the pastry. Don’t worry if the pastry breaks a little
  • it is easy to patch up. Chill for 15 minutes.
  • Prick the base of the pastry with a fork
  • line the pastry case with baking paper or foil and fill with baking beans. Bake the pastry blind for 10 minutes
  • or until just lightly golden-brown. Remove the paper and beans and return the tart to the oven to cook for a further 5-7 minutes
  • or until pale golden-brown and the base is cooked.
  • To make the chocolate filling
  • melt the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar and flour. Beat in the eggs
  • one at a time
  • and leave to stand.
  • To make the orange filling
  • melt the butter and white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the orange zest
  • sugar and flour. Beat in the egg yolks
  • one at a time and pour the mixture into a jug.
  • Place the pastry case on a baking tray. Pour the chocolate mixture into the pastry case. Drizzle or pipe the orange filling over the chocolate filling to create a swirl effect. Draw a cocktail stick through the filling to create a marbled effect.
