Chocolate orange cream cheese tarts

I made these for dessert yesterday with the help of my youngest boy. I knew he would be gleefully assisted me to make holes in the tart base with a fork. So after pressing the dough into the moulds, i had him making the holes...should see his ear to ear smile doing that...i copied this yummy desserts from Fantastic Cheesecake book by Alex Goh baking class book (picture below).

Filling:-

250g cream cheese
50g icing sugar

100g orange juice
50g instant custard powder
