Preparation
Pastry:
quickly mix the flour with the cold butter, cut into pieces, the sugar, the egg, the grated orange rind and the salt. Form into a loaf and leave to cool in the fridge covered with kitchen film for 2 hours.

Roll out the pastry until 4 mm thick and line the buttered, floured cake tin. Trim off the pastry around the edge and prick the bottom with a fork. Place the cake tin in the fridge. 

Filling: melt the chocolate with the butter in a saucepan by the bain-marie method.
Take off the heat, allow to cool until just warm and add the sugar (keeping 1/2 a spoonful aside). Add the almonds, egg yolk, vanilla scrapings and cream to the chocolate.
Whip the egg white with 1/2 spoonful of granulated sugar in a separate bowl. Add the meringue to the filling. Pour the filling over the pastry and level it. 

Bake the tart using the pastry cooking mode at 180 °C for about 35-40 minutes.

When the tart is cooked, remove it from the oven and the cake tin and leave it to cool on a rack. Dust the edge of the tart with a little icing sugar.
