Chocolate and Orange Portuguese Custard Tarts

I absolutely adore Edd Kimber's first book, The Boy Who Bakes, not only because it contains so many fantastic recipes but because it's visually beautiful - it looks equally at home nestled on a shelf with fellow baking books as it does on a coffee table. While flicking through last week I came across this recipe for Chocolate and Orange Portuguese Custard Tarts and instantly knew I'd have to give them a go. They're not too difficult to make and taste amazing: they'd be the perfect addition to a traditional afternoon tea or served outside after dinner on a warm summer's evening.
