- In a deep saucepan heat the cream to boil. Pour the cream over the chocolate. Let chill for 20 seconds and then mix well.
- Pour the chocolate ganache into the cream mixture. Beat everything until a smooth consistency.
- Pour the mixture into the pan over the cookie base.
- Cooked for 35/40 minutes.
- Let cool at room temperature and then store it in the fridge. Chill overnight.
Plum compote
