Procedure:

Step 1

To make the pastry, process the flour, butter, icing sugar and cocoa powder in a food processor until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add milk. Process until just combined. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Shape into a disc and cover with plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to rest.

Step 2

Divide the dough into 8 portions. Roll out 1 portion until 3mm thick. Line a 2.5cm-deep, 8cm (base measurement) fluted tart tin, with removable base, with the pastry. Trim any excess. Repeat with the remaining dough portions. Use a fork to prick the bases all over. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes to chill.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 200°C. Bake the pastry cases for 15 minutes or until crisp and dry to the touch.

Step 4

Stir the Snickers and cream in a saucepan over low heat for 5 minutes or until the Snickers melts and the mixture is smooth. Spoon among tart cases. Set aside to cool completely.

Step 5

Top tarts with the ice-cream and decorate with shaved chocolate.
