Ingredients:
- 300g digestive biscuits
- 150g unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 450g high-quality white chocolate, chopped
- 150ml heavy cream (35% fat content)
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 200g Cadbury Mini Eggs, roughly crushed
Instructions:
- Pulse digestive biscuits in a food processor until they reach the consistency of fine sand.
- Toast the biscuit crumbs in a dry pan over medium heat for 2 minutes to develop a nutty flavor via the Maillard reaction.
- In a bowl, combine the toasted crumbs with melted butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch tart tin, using the flat bottom of a measuring cup to compress the base and sides. Freeze for 10 minutes.
- Place chopped white chocolate in a heat-proof glass bowl. In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream and vanilla bean paste until just simmering (blooming the aromatics).
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Let it sit for 60 seconds, then whisk gently starting from the center to create a velvet emulsion. Stir in the 1/4 tsp salt.
- Pour the ganache into the chilled crust. Smooth with an offset spatula and sprinkle with crushed Mini Eggs.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until the ganache is firm and sliceable.
