this is from Brett Graham's Ledbury, where he uses it as a pave, however we have used it as a luxurious tart filling.
very easy to make, and a stunning end result.

Method
melt (A). heat (B) to 85C,then add to (A) and stir until emulsified. beat in (C) until fully incorporated. pour into blind baked tart case (or mould if using as a pave) and into an oven at 84C.
