Spread a sheet of parchment paper on the dough, arrange some ceramic weights on it (3) and bake in a static oven at 180 degrees C for about 25-30 minutes. Remove it from the oven and let it cool.

Prepare the custard; work the egg yolks with the sugar and flour (4), until the mixture will be light and fluffy.

Pour in the hot milk (5), put it back on the stove and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.

Put the jelly to soak in cold water. Remove the custard from the stove, add the jelly, well squeezed, and melt it. Pour a quarter of the custard into a bowl, add the chocolate (6), mix well and let it cool.

Melt the chocolate kept aside for the shortcrust pastry and spread it over the now cold shell (7). Transfer to the refrigerator and let it rest for about ten minutes.

Assemble the cake; spread the custard on the bottom of the cake (8).

Arrange the biscuits on top, soaked in a syrup prepared by mixing the coffee with the rum (9).

Cover with the chocolate cream (10), level well and refrigerate to harden for at least 2 hours.
