Ingredients
For the base
200g Oreo
50g butter
For the cake
100g Fairtrade soft light brown sugar
2 British Blacktail Medium Free Range Eggs
1 tbsp golden syrup
100g Fairtrade dark Belgian chocolate
50g butter
For the topping
80g Fairtrade dark Belgian chocolate
½ x 500g tub vanilla custard
300ml double cream
Fairtrade dark chocolate, for shaving
Method
Preheat the oven to 200ºC,
gas mark 6. Blitz the cookies
in a food processor, or put
into a food bag, seal and bash
with a rolling pin until fine
crumbs form. Melt the butter
in a saucepan or microwave,
pour into the crumbs and stir
until coated.
Press the crumbs into a
20cm pie dish using your
hands, pushing the mixture
about 5cm up the sides of
the tin. Use the back of a
spoon to ensure the base
is firmly pressed into the tin,
then refrigerate until needed.
For the fudge cake filling,
whisk together the sugar with
the eggs using a handheld
electric whisk for 3-5
minutes, until thick and pale.
Melt together the golden
syrup, chocolate and butter
in a bowl over a saucepan of
just simmering water. Fold
the chocolate mixture into
the whipped eggs and sugar
until well combined, then
pour into the chilled base.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until
a crust has formed but the
centre retains a slight wobble,
then allow to cool completely
before returning to the fridge.
While the cake bakes,
make the topping. Melt the
80g chocolate in a heatproof
bowl, stir in the custard and
mix well. Set aside to cool.
Whip the cream into soft
peaks. Spread the chocolate
custard mixture onto the top
of the fudge cake, then spoon
the cream over the top of
that. Sprinkle over some
chocolate shavings (see tip),
then return to the fridge until
ready to serve. This will keep,
covered, for up to 3 days in
the fridge.
Cook’s tip
Run a sharp knife, veg peeler or grater along the back of a chocolate bar (in strokes away from the body) to make shavings.
