Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F. Roll the 300g sweet shortbread dough between two sheets of baking paper until large enough to line four 5-inch tart tins. Line the tins with the pastry, trim the edges, then cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Remove the chilled tart tins from the fridge. Prick the pastry bases several times with a fork to prevent bubbling. Place the tins on a baking tray, line the bases with baking paper, and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the paper and continue baking for a further 8–12 minutes, or until the pastry is lightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow the tart shells to cool completely.
While the pastry cools, make the chocolate ganache. Put the 100g dark chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Heat the 100ml double cream until hot but not boiling (steam rising, small bubbles at the edge). Pour the hot cream over the chocolate, let sit for 1 minute, then stir gently until smooth and fully combined. Stir in the zest of one orange (the zest listed under the ganache).
Let the ganache cool for a few minutes until it is thickened but still pourable.
Spread the 4 tablespoons of orange marmalade evenly across the base of the four cooled tart shells (about 1 tablespoon per tart). Spoon or pour the cooled ganache over the marmalade, dividing it evenly among the tarts.
Chill the filled tarts in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to set the ganache. Sprinkle with the remaining zest of one orange and serve.
