1
Place the chocolate biscuits into a food processor and blitz to a fine crumb.
Add the Pecan & Maple Dessert Dukkah and blitz again for about 5 seconds to mix through.
Melt the butter and add to the food processor while it is blitzing.
2
Press the biscuit crumb mix into a 23cm loose base tart pan. There's no need to grease the pan.
Refrigerate for 1-2 hours to set - the longer the better.
If you’re in a hurry, freeze it for 30-45 minutes.
3
Break the chocolate into small pieces and add to a heat proof bowl. The smaller the pieces the easier it will be for the warm cream to melt and make the ganache.
4
Heat the cream over a low-medium heat to warm through, stirring continuously. The cream needs to be warm enough to melt the chocolate, but don’t let it boil.
5
Pour the warmed cream over the chocolate and allow to sit for about a minute before stirring gently to combine.
6
Pour the ganache into the tart base.
Decorate with pecan pieces and Pecan & Maple Dessert Dukkah.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set before serving.
7
Serve with whipped cream and berries on the side.
If you place fresh fruit on top of the tart, the moisture in the fruit can affect the tart’s appearance – but it will still taste delicious!
