Prep time: 1h 20mins max.


INGREDIENTS

  • Half a pack of digestive biscuits

  • 375ml double cream

  • 400g dark chocolate

  • A knob of butter


METHOD

FOR THE TART BASE:

  3. Press the mix into a tart dish and cool in the fridge for 10 minutes.

THE GANACHE:

  1. Break chocolate into small chunks and place in glass bowl.

  2. Boil water in a small pan, reduce to bulling simmer and place the glass bowl on top to form a bain-marie.

  3. Melt chocolate, stirring constantly, until evenly melted. Keep on a low heat until needed soon.

  4. Pour cream into another pan and heat just until it starts to bubble lightly at the edge.

  5. Add heated cream to melted chocolate and whisk rapidly for approx. 2 minutes to ensure the mix does not split.

  6. Pour the mixture into the tart base, then place into the fridge to set for approx. 40-60 minutes.
