Chocolate Ganache Tart
A French-style individual chocolate tart built to land well under 250 calories a serving: a thin cocoa pastry shell holds a glossy dark chocolate ganache lightened with skim milk and thickened with cornstarch instead of cream, finished with fresh raspberries for fibre and tang.

Instructions
1
Rub cold cubed butter into the sifted flour, cocoa powder, sugar and salt until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
2
Bind with the beaten egg yolk and iced water, gathering into a disc without overworking; wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
3
Roll the chilled dough thin and line the two 8cm tart tins, trimming the edges; prick the bases and chill a further 10 minutes.
4
Blind bake at 180C for 12-14 minutes until dry and set, then cool on a wire rack while you make the filling.
5
Warm the skim milk in a small pan; whisk a splash into the cornstarch to make a smooth slurry, then return it to the pan and stir over low heat until just thickened.
6
Remove from the heat and add the chopped dark chocolate and vanilla extract, stirring until fully melted and glossy.
7
Pour the ganache filling into the baked tart shells and smooth the tops; chill for 45 minutes until set.
8
Top each tart with halved fresh raspberries just before serving.
