INGREDIENTS
160g plain chocolate biscuits
125g butter
300g dark chocolate, chopped
1/3 cup pure cream
2 tablespoons orange liqueur
(Grand Marnier)
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
200g milk chocolate, melted
6 candied orange segments, halved
METHOD
- Lightly grease and line an 18 x 28cm slice pan, extending paper 2cm above the edge on the two long sides.
- Place biscuits into a food processor and process until fine crumbs form.
Melt 90g butter and add to processor. Pulse to combine. Press firmly into pan.
- In a medium saucepan, combine dark chocolate, cream, liqueur and zest. Stir over low heat for 2-3 minutes, until melted and smooth. Cool for 10 minutes. Pour over base and chill for 30 minutes or until just set.
- Combine milk chocolate and remaining butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook on high (100%) power for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Pour over chilled base and top with candied orange segments. Chill for
3 hours or until firm. Cut into 12 squares (see tip). Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
TOP TIP- This slice is quite rich, so you may prefer to make the squares smaller and reduce the size of each piece of candied orange to a garnish. It could easily be cut into 24 squares.
