1. To make the pastry, sift the flour into a food processor and add the olive oil spread and icing sugar. Process until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add 3 tablespoons of cold water and pulse until the mixture comes together. Tip onto a floured work surface and shape into a ball. Wrap in cling film and chill for 20 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Lightly flour the work surface and roll the pastry out thinly. Use it to line a 23cm x 3cm greased, deep loose-bottomed fluted tart tin. Line the pastry case with greaseproof paper and fill it with baking beans, then bake blind for 15 minutes. Remove the beans and paper and return the pastry case to the oven for 5 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4.
3. Put the cocoa, cornflour and sugar into a jug. Gradually stir in 200ml chocolate soya milk and microwave on high for 11/2 minutes. Stir, then microwave for a further minute. Add 50g chocolate and microwave for 30 seconds. Whisk the eggs and the almonds, then gradually pour in the remaining 200ml of chocolate soya milk. Whisk into the thickened chocolate mixture, then pour into the pastry case. Bake for about 30 minutes until the filling has just set but still has a slight wobble in the centre. Cool completely.
4. Use a potato peeler to shave curls from the remaining chocolate, and scatter over the tart. Dust with cocoa and icing sugar before serving
