Ingredients
100g Amaretti biscuits
400g dark chocolate, broken
5 tbsp liquid glucose
3 tbsp dark rum
2 tbsp Amaretto
200g chestnut purée
570ml double cream
Cocoa powder for dusting
Method
- Line the base and sides of a 23 cm cake tin, and grease with walnut oil.
- Set aside 3 or 4 of the biscuits and crush the rest into powder.
- Sprinkle the biscuit crumbs over the base of the tin and place in the fridge.
- Place the chocolate, alcohol, glucose and chestnut purée in a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, leaving until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 5 mins.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream until slightly thickened.
- Fold half the cream into the chocolate mixture with a metal spoon. Then fold that mixture into the rest of the cream.
- Spoon into the prepared tin, gently tapping the sides of the tin to even the mixture out. Cover with clingfilm and refridgerate overnight.
- Before serving, run a palette knife round the edge and shake it to turn out on to a cake stand.
- Dust with sifted cocoa powder and the sprinkle the remaining Amaretti biscuits in the centre.
