Add egg yolk and 1 tablespoon ice water and mix until dough clumps up. Add remaining 1 tablespoon water if dough is too dry.
• Pour dough onto a work surface and push together to form a ball. Pat the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared tart tin to create an even surface. Place crust in the freezer for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, place white chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl and heat in a microwave oven until melted, about 2 minutes. Stir until smooth and allow to cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
• Add mascarpone cheese, cream cheese, orange zest, and orange juice to the bowl with the melted and cooled white chocolate. Mix until smooth. Gradually drizzle heavy cream into the mixture until the desired thickness is reached; mixture shouldn't be too runny. Refrigerate filling until needed.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE TART WITH DULCE DE LECHE

Steps:

• Special equipment: 9-inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom
• Crust: Whisk the flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda together in a medium bowl. Put the butter, confectioners' and brown sugar in a food processor and process until smooth and creamy. Add the dry ingredients and pulse to combine. Add the egg yolks and continue to pulse to make a smooth dough. Remove the blade, and turn dough out onto a large sheet of plastic wrap, form into a disk, and wrap tightly. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Put the chocolate in a medium bowl. Put the cream and sweetened condensed milk in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. (Alternatively, heat the cream and milk in the microwave.) Pour the cream over the chocolate and whisk until smooth and shiny. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla until smooth.

• Place the dough between 2 pieces of waxed or parchment paper and roll into a circle about 1/4-inch thick. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Peel off a piece of parchment from the dough, then gently flip dough into tart pan, peeling away the rest of parchment. Carefully press dough into the tart pan so that it sits evenly in the pan. Trim excess dough from the edges, if needed. Line the crust with wax paper or lightly sprayed parchment paper and fill with pie weights or baking beans (see photo).
• Place tart shell on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the paper and weights and continue to bake until the crust sets and looks a little dull (a sign it is cooked), about 5 minutes more. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE & PASSION FRUIT TART

Steps:

• To make the pastry, sift the flour, icing sugar and cocoa powder into a small food processor. Add the butter and blitz together until it is the texture of breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolks and mix together gently with your fingers until it forms a soft paste. You may need to add a little water, 1 tbsp at a time. Wrap in cling film and place in the fridge to rest for at least 1 hr.
• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to the thickness of a pound coin. Use the pastry to line a 20cm round tart tin with a slight overhang. Prick the pastry with a fork and chill in the fridge for 1 hr. Line the inside of the pastry case with baking parchment and fill with baking beans, uncooked rice or dried pulses to keep the base flat. Place the tart tin on a baking sheet and bake for 25 mins. Remove from the oven, take out the parchment and beans and return to the oven to cook for a further 10-20 mins until the pastry case is cooked through and dried out. Remove from the oven and leave to cool. Trim off the excess pastry with a serrated knife.
• To make the custard filling, pour the milk, cream and sugar into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and put the egg yolks in a bowl. While whisking the yolks, pour in the cream mix, until fully incorporated. Pour the custard back into the saucepan and heat to 85C (use a digital probe to check the temperature), or until it's thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Tip the white chocolate into a large bowl and pour over the hot custard, stirring to make a rich chocolate custard. Leave to cool, then ladle the custard evenly into the pastry case and chill for at least 2 hrs, or overnight if possible.
• For the passion fruit syrup, cut the fruit in half, scrape out the seeded flesh into a saucepan and add the caster sugar and orange juice. Put the pan on a medium heat, bring to the boil and simmer for 25 mins until thickened and syrupy. Remove from the heat and leave to cool. Can be made several days ahead. Pour the chilled passion fruit syrup over the chilled tart just before slicing.
