  7. Line shell with parchment paper and pie weights. Bake 30 minutes, until nearly set. Remove paper and weights and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until tart is firm. Cover edge with foil if it darkens too much. Let shell cool completely.
  8. Brush melted chocolate over bottom and up the side and refrigerate for 10 minutes, or until set.
