Ingredients
Scale
For the Chocolate Biscuit Crust
- 300 g digestives
- 35 g cocoa powder
- 150 g unsalted butter (melted)
For the Baileys Chocolate Ganache Filling
- 175 g dark chocolate
- 175 g milk chocolate
- 300 ml double cream
- 150 ml Baileys Irish Cream
- 50 g unsalted butter
For the Baileys Whipped Cream Topping
- 125 ml double cream
- 25 ml Baileys Irish Cream
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
- Grated chocolate for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the biscuit crust: Crush the digestives into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Mix the crushed biscuits with cocoa powder and melted unsalted butter until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the base and sides of a 23 cm (9 inch) tart tin to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Make the Baileys chocolate ganache: Break the dark and milk chocolate into small pieces and place in a heatproof bowl. Heat the double cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Stir in the Baileys Irish Cream and unsalted butter until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Assemble and chill the tart: Pour the Baileys chocolate ganache over the chilled biscuit crust, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate the tart for at least 3 hours or until the filling is set and firm.
- Prepare the Baileys whipped cream: In a cold mixing bowl, whisk the double cream with icing sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the Baileys Irish Cream until evenly combined.
- Decorate and serve: Once the tart filling is set, top with the Baileys whipped cream. Garnish with grated chocolate over the cream. Slice and serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use a mix of dark and milk chocolate for a balanced chocolate flavor with smooth sweetness.
- Ensure the biscuit crust is chilled well to hold the ganache filling properly.
- If preferred, adjust the Baileys quantity to taste for a stronger or milder flavor.
- The whipped cream topping can be prepared fresh just before serving to maintain its lightness.
- Store any leftovers refrigerated and consume within 2-3 days for freshness.
