Coffee Walnut Biscuit Base
- 125 g digestive biscuits
- 75 g walnuts
- 1 tbsp coffee powder
- 75 g clarified butter/ ghee melted, cooled
Dark Chocolate Coffee Filling
- 300 g Amul/fresh cream
- 1 tsp instant coffee
- 200 g 70% dark couverture chocolate chopped
1/2 portion salted caramel sauce
Line the tart molds with a double layer of foil. I used 1 X 4.5" ♥ tart, 1 X 3" ♥ tart, 2 Weck jars for individual servings. Alternatively, use a loose bottom 8" tart tin, else Weck jars/dessert glasses
Coffee Walnut Biscuit Base
Run the biscuits, walnuts and coffee in the processor to get a fine crumb like mix. {Alternatively, put into a ziploc and crush to a fine meal}
Stir in the melted ghee. Transfer to the prepared molds/tins and using the back of a spoon, press firmly into the base. You could also work up the sides to get a rustic uneven finish like I did.
Freeze the base until required.
Dark Chocolate Coffee Filling
Heat the cream until warm. Whisk in the coffee powder, then add the chopped dark chocolate. Stand for 10 minutes until the chocolate has melted. Whisk until smooth.
Leave to stand for 30 minutes, whisk again. Rest until the ganache firms up to pipe of doing individual servings, else use while still soft.
Assemble
Take out the tart tin from the freezer.
Add a couple of spoons of salted caramel sauce to the base and swirl around immediately to spread.
Top with the chocolate ganache using an offset spatula or the back of the spoon to spread. Garnish with chocolate dragees etc if desired.
Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm. Slice & serve.
