Steps:

• Make crust:
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Wrap a sheet of foil over bottom of springform pan (in case of leaks). Lightly butter side of pan.
• Stir together ground wafers and butter in a bowl until combined, then pat mixture evenly onto bottom of pan and 1 1/2 inches up side. Bake until crust is slightly puffed, about 10 minutes, then cool completely in pan on a rack, about 15 minutes. Leave oven on.
• Make filling while crust cools:
• Melt chocolate and butter in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth, then remove from heat and cool 5 minutes.
• Whisk together eggs, cream, sugar, salt, and vanilla in a bowl. Whisk chocolate mixture into egg mixture until combined well.
• Assemble and bake tart:
• Pour filling into cooled crust and rap pan once on counter to eliminate any air bubbles. Bake until filling 1 inch from edge is set and slightly puffed but center trembles slightly when pan is gently shaken, 20 to 25 minutes. (Center will continue to set as it cools.)
• Cool tart completely in pan on a rack, about 2 hours. Chill, uncovered, until center is firm, about 4 hours. Remove side of pan and sprinkle with cocoa to serve.

Steps:

• To make the posset, put the cream, sugar and both zests in a pan and bring to a simmer. Turn up the heat and bubble for 3 mins exactly, then remove from the heat and stir in the citrus juice. Sieve the mixture into a large trifle bowl and chill for at least 4 hrs, or overnight until set.
• Scatter the madeira cake pieces over the posset layer.
• To make the fruit layer, stir the marmalade and vodka together, pour over the chopped fruit and mix. Tip the mixture over the cake pieces and return to the fridge to chill.
• Meanwhile, make the custard. Put the chocolate and custard in a pan stirring over a low heat and gently warm until the mixture is piping hot and the chocolate has melted. Leave to cool, stirring occasionally to stop a skin forming. Once cooled, pour over the fruit layer.
• To make the mousse, put the cream and egg whites in separate bowls, adding a pinch of salt to the egg whites. Using a very clean electric whisk, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks, add the sugar and briefly whisk again. Whisk the cream until it just holds its shape, then fold in the yogurt.
• Chop the chocolate, put it in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water and stir until melted, or melt in the microwave in short bursts. Leave to cool for 3-5 mins, then stir in the egg yolks.
• Add a large spoonful of the egg whites to the chocolate mixture and stir to loosen. Add the remaining egg whites and the whipped cream. Fold everything together with a large metal spoon, keeping as much air in as possible. When there are no more visible streaks, dollop the mousse on top of the trifle. Decorate with your chosen toppings. Will keep in the fridge for up to three days without toppings.

Steps:

• For the Truffles: Combine the chocolate, cream, and butter in a small heatproof bowl, set over simmering water, and let melt. When almost melted, remove from the heat and stir the mixture until smooth. Stir in flavoring of your choice and refrigerate until thick enough to mound on a spoon, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
• Line a baking tray with waxed or parchment paper. Scrape the chocolate mixture into pastry bag fitted with a #3 plain tip. Pipe eight 1-inch mounds onto the prepared tray. Place 1 raspberry in center of each chocolate mound and pipe a little more of the chocolate mixture to enclose completely. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
• For the Cake: Position a rack in the center of oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter, or coat with vegetable spray, 8 oversize muffin cups (4 inches wide and 2 inches deep) or 1 1/4 cup custard cups. Line bottoms with rounds of waxed paper. (To cut out the rounds, place 1 of the cups on waxed paper and trace rounds the bottom with a pencil. Then cut the 8 circles.) Set aside.
• In the top of a double boiler or a small heatproof bowl set over simmering water, melt together the chocolate and butter. Cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, in the large bowl of an electric mixer. with a paddle or beaters, on high speed, beat eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until tripled in volume, about 5 minutes. Scrape in the chocolate mixture and, on low speed, beat just until combined. Remove the bowl and fold in the flour, using a rubber spatula. Spoon a little of the batter into each of the prepared cups top with 1 truffle, and cover with the remaining batter. Arrange cups on a baking tray and bake until edges of the cakes begin to pull away from the sides of the cups, 12 to 13 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Invert onto individual dessert plates and carefully peel off paper.
