Ingredients

450g good quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa is good)

1 pint of double cream

5 tbsp of golden syrup

5 tbsp of amaretto liqueur

100g digestive biscuits (amaretti would work well too)

A dash of orange oil

Cocoa powder for dusting

Directions

Prepare a 9 inch circular baking tin: Line the bottom with a circle of greaseproof paper and rub a little oil around the sides (groundnut or similar is good for this).

Break up the biscuits until there are no large chunks (use a pestle and mortar if you want), and spread them evenly in the bottom of the tin.

Break the chocolate into small chunks and melt it in the microwave with the syrup. This should only take a minute or two: Stirring will help the chocolate to melt. Be careful not to microwave it for too long as the chocolate may separate.

While the chocolate is cooling, put the cream into a bowl and beat until it is slightly thickened.

Stir in the amaretto and the orange oil (I used a concentrate so only a few drops were required).

Fold in the melted chocolate, and mix until it is consistent and thick.

Pour the mixture over the biscuit crumbs and spread it to the edges with a spatula.

Put it into the fridge to chill. It is best done over night, but 2-3 hours will suffice if you prefer.

Remove from the baking tin and dust with cocoa power to serve.
