Method
Place the chocolate with the cream, rum and sea salt in a heatproof bowl over a pan over gently simmering water. Once the chocolate is almost totally melted, mix until smooth and glossy then pour into the pastry case; set aside to cool for a few minutes.
- Using a piping bag or a spoon, pipe the dulce de leche in even horizontal lines 2cm (3/4in) apart. Then, using a skewer, draw vertical lines in the other direction, backwards and forwards through the dulce de leche. Set aside for 3 hours or overnight to set. Once cooled, sprinkle over the sea salt flakes.
