  How-to
  
    
	Make Filling
	- 
		Cook sugar and orange juice in a sauce pan over medium-low heat until reduced by half, and the syrup turns a dark caramel, about 20 minutes. (The mixture will foam up with large bubbles when it is ready)
 
	- 
		Put the chocolate into a steel mixing bowl with all of the other ingredients, and warm over a double- boiler until the chocolate is almost completely melted
 
	- 
		Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and lightly whisk into the caramel until it forms a thick, silky chocolate batter
 
	Make Tart Shells
	- 
		Preheat oven to 350º 
 
	- 
		Mix all of the ingredients thoroughly until they form a solid paste
 
	- 
		Roll the mixture thinly, then cut into squares, and tuck into tart molds, or the cups of a muffin tin. (The size of the squares depends on the desired size of the tarts, and the size of the molds)
 
	- 
		Bake the tart shells for 10-15 minutes, or until the shells are firm and flaky and color is lighter
 
	- 
		Let the tart shells cool to room temperature and fill with the chocolate mixture. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow chocolate to set
 
	- 
		Serve with whipped cream seasoned with orange extract and vanilla, and orange slices
