Baked Chocolate Tarts

A dozen of half-baked tart shells being tucked at a corner of the fridge for a fortnight are waiting for a filling to complete them. Lately, a whiff of laziness dwells in me and these shells are moulding soon if they remain unfreeze.  This chocolate filling I chose fitted in perfectly for a quick bake, and all within 15 mins, the tarts are ready to be baked. I simply melted all the chocolate filling ingredients (except beaten egg) over simmering water till creamy. Move the bowl of warm chocolate filling to table and whisk in the beaten cold egg. Sprinkle some crushed almonds at the tart base before scooping in the chocolate filling. Baking time : 15mins or till the tart edges golden.
