- Pat mixture down firmly to make a base.Put in fridge whilst making the filling.
- Beat Sheese in a non stick saucepan until creamy sprinkle agar flakes over the Sheese and stir,bring to a simmer stirring occasionally until the flakes dissolve.
- Meanwhile melt the chocolate (I do it in the microwave in a glass bowl for 30 sec first and then another 20/30secs until melted)
- Whip the cream,sugar and lemon rind until its thick add melted chocolate and Sheese mixture and whip together.
- Fill the flan tin with the mixture and place in a preheated oven 160c for 30 mins
- Chill well before serving.
- This is wonderful very rich and delicious.
- Serve sliced sprinkled with a little sieved icing sugar and a few slices of kiwi fruit.
- Alternatively if you want a really deep torte try using a smaller flan tin and cook for an extra 10/15mins until the top is firm.
