Instructions
Oat Walnut Cookie Base
- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Place oats, walnut halves, brown sugar and baking soda in jar of chopper. Blend in short bursts until you get a uniform brown sugar like consistency, just until it feels like moist breadcrumbs.
- Don't overwork the blender or the walnuts will release oil.
- Transfer to bowl of stand mixer, flat mixer attachment, add the clarified butter/ghee, egg and vanilla extract and mix at speed 4 until it comes together like cookie dough.
- Line the base of the tart tins with parchment paper. Divide the cookie dough between the two. Work up t the edges, and then flatten the base.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes, then cool completely on cookie rack.
Dark Chocolate Filling
- Warm the chocolate with the cream in the microwave, agitate it with a balloon whisk, added a splash of milk, agitate it a bit more. {Agitate means to whisk briskly until smooth & glossy}
- Once it chilled in the fridge for 30 minutes turned it into the baked shell, and let it set for about 2-3 hours.
- Top with dark chocolate shavings and dust with cocoa before serving.
