Ingredients

For the base:

  • 350 g gluten free digestive biscuits graham crackers
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 150 g butter melted

For the caramel:

  • 185 g butter
  • 35 g caster sugar I use golden
  • 65 g golden syrup
  • 1 x 397g can of condensed milk
  • pinch of salt

For the chocolate ganache top:

  • 120 ml (double cream
  • 100 g chocolate chopped (I use a mix of milk and dark)
  • 20 g butter softened
  • salted caramel truffles to finish
  • salted caramel sauce to finish

Instructions

For the base:

  • Crush your biscuits into fine crumbs and then mix in cocoa powder so thoroughly combined. I often do this in a food processor or I use a rolling pin to crush the biscuits and then stir in the cocoa powder.
  • Pour your melted butter into your crushed biscuits and mix together in a bowl.
  • Press your mixture into a 23cm loose bottom fluted tart tin. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 mins.

For the salted caramel layer:

  • For your caramel, place all the ingredients in a small saucepan over a low to medium heat. Allow the butter to melt and sugar to dissolve, then mix well to ensure it doesn’t stick to the bottom and is all well combined.
  • Turn the heat up so the mixture starts to bubble a little, then stir continuously for about 5–8 minutes or until it has thickened and turned a dark golden colour. Stir in a pinch of salt.
  • Pour your caramel on top of your biscuit base, spreading it so that it’s level and even. Place in the fridge to set for at least 2 hours. Once chilled, remove from the fridge, ready for the final layer.

For the chocolate ganache layer:

  • To make your ganache, heat your cream in a small saucepan until just before boiling. Add the chopped chocolate and softened butter to a heatproof bowl, then pour in the hot cream.
  • Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes without stirring, then stir together so it’s all melted, thoroughly combined and pourable.
  • Pour it over the caramel layer and pop in the fridge to set.
  • Just before serving drizzle with extra caramel sauce and decorate with caramel truffles.

Notes

If you don't like salted caramel and prefer caramel without the salt, just remove the salt.
