Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Line a 9x9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Melt 100 g unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk, and 2 tbsp golden syrup. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, and cook for 5 minutes until caramel thickens.
  2. Step 2: Remove caramel from heat and fold in 200 g roughly crushed digestive biscuits until fully coated. Press this mixture evenly into the prepared dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
  3. Step 3: While caramel base chills, heat 1/4 cup heavy cream in a small saucepan until simmering. Pour over 200 g chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
  4. Step 4: Pour chocolate ganache evenly over the set biscuit caramel base. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm. Slice into squares and serve chilled.
