Press into a fluted flan tin making sure to get the mixture all the way up the sides.

Pour the milk and half of the cream into a pan, bring to the boil and set aside.
-
Beat the egg yolks with the coconut liqueur and cornflour. Add the sugar and mix again.
-
Add the scalded milk mix into the egg mix and whisk quickly to make a custard base.
-
Break up the chocolate into a bowl and pour the custard base over the top. Leave to sit for a minute before then stirring well to dissolve the chocolate.

Once smooth, pour the mixture into the tart case. Use any leftover mixture to make chocolate pots.
