Ingredients

  • 300 g dark coloured chocolate biscuits
  • 50 g 70% dairy free dark chocolate
  • 50 g unsalted butter or dairy free alternative (I use Flora plant butter)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 100 g 70% dairy free dark chocolate you can add icing sugar to sweeten if this is too dark for you
  • 25 g cornflour/cornstarch
  • 4 tbsp milk
  • 500 ml double cream
  • 50 g cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp strong black coffee or coffee extract
  • 75 ml vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Blitz the cookies in a food processor or bash with a rolling pin, add the chocolate, sea salt and butter and blitz again until the mixture begins to bind together.
  • Tip crumb mixture into 9" flan/cake tin with removable base.
  • Press down crumb mixture, pushing up the sides of the tin to create biscuit walls.
  • Pop base into the fridge for at least an hour whilst you set to work on the filling.
  • Combine the cornflour and milk ensuring there are no lumps and flour has completely dissolved.
  • Add the chopped chocolate, cream, coffee, cocoa, vanilla, sugar, olive oil and salt to a saucepan and gently heat.
  • Once the chocolate has completely melted and the liquid has turned a dark colour, add the cornflour mixture.
  • Continue to stir, do not leave! The mixture will thicken quite quickly to a chocolate custard consistency.
  • Pour into a bowl and cover mixture with clingfilm or wet baking sheet, actually have the film touching the mixture to prevent a thick skin forming. Allow the mixture to cool for 20mins.
  • Once cooled pour into the biscuit base and return to the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight (mine was left overnight)
  • To decorate I finely grated some of the remaining dark chocolate over the top but you can decorate as you see fit.
