Make the base
- Place the cookies in a bag and crush them quite finely with a heavy object.
- Put the crushed cookies in a bag, add the melted butter and mix well.
- Pour the mixture into a 23 cm (9") cake tin with a pop-up bottom. Press the mixture firmly with a spoon to create a base and also about 2 cm (1") up the side of the tin.
- Place in the 'fridge to chill for about 15-20 minutes.
Make the filling
- Beat together the sugar and the eggs until smooth.
- Add in the syrup and the vanilla and beat again.
- Melt the chocolate and butter together in a bowl over a pan of boiling water. Make sure the water is not touching the bottom of the pan.
- Once the mixture is smooth pour it into the sugar/egg mixture and mix well.
- Pour this mixture into the chilled cake base and bake at 180°C/356°F for 30-35 minutes until the filling is set.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Once cooled, remove the cake from the tin and place on a plate.
The topping
- Make some chocolate curls by warming the chocolate in your hand and cutting thin slivers using a vegetable peeler. Place in the 'fridge to chill.
- Beat the cream until firm.
- Spread it evenly over the top of the cake and decorate with the chocolate curls.
Titli's Tips
To make it even more chocolatey you can either beat a couple of tbsp of cocoa powder into the cream or top the pie with a chocolate custard.
