  1. Grease an eleven-inch diameter spring form tart pan with butter. Preheat oven to 175ºC/350ºF/Gas Mark 4. In a food processor add flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt and blend for five seconds. Add butter and blend till you get a moist sandy texture.
  2. Add one and a half tablespoons of chilled water and blend until the dough comes together. Press evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan.
  3. Prick all over with a fork and refrigerate for thirty minutes. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for around fifteen minutes or until it looks dry and slightly puffed up. Take it out of the oven and set aside to cool. In a heavy bottomed pan, take brown sugar, cream, honey and ginger.
  4. Bring to a boil over medium heat, mixing gently until the sugar dissolves. Cook for around seven to eight minutes mixing occasionally. Mix in whole roasted cashewnuts and desiccated coconut and let it cool.
  5. Brush enough melted chocolate over inside of crust to coat completely reserving one fourth cup for garnish. Freeze crust until the chocolate is cold and hard. Pour the cashew-coconut mixture into the crust.
  6. Place tart on rimmed baking tray and bake in the preheated oven till filling begins to darken on top and bubbles thickly, for about thirty-five minutes
  7. Place tart on wire rack and cool completely. Drizzle remaining melted chocolate over tart in a lacy pattern. Cut into wedges and serve.
