INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

To make the base: Crush the biscuits finely or process into crumbs.
Finely chop the toasted pecans. Grate the chocolate. Melt the butter
in a pan. Add biscuits, chocolate, nuts and cinnamon, and stir all
together until well mixed and bound together with the chocolate.  Press
into the base of a greased deep sided loose bottomed cake tin,  (20cm)
and smooth out using the back of a spoon to compact the  mixture and
make a firm base. Pop in the fridge to set whilst you  prepare the
caramelised nuts and chocolate truffle.  Put the pecans and icing sugar
into a heavy wide based pan and heat  over a medium heat until the
sugar turns into a deep caramel and  coats the nuts. Turn out onto a
clean work surface and allow to cool  a little before your break the
caramelised nuts apart. Leave the  caramelised nuts apart. Leave to
become crisp and set.  Whisk the cream to a soft flop and leave in the
kitchen to take the  chill off it whilst you melt the chocolate.  Grate
the chocolate on a coarse grater and melt over a gentle heat in  a
double boiler until the chocolate is melted. Do not allow the water  to
boil or the chocolate will become grainy. Lift off the heat and  cool
slightly.  Gradually fold cream into the chocolate until it is fully
combined.  Fold in the caramelised nuts. Pour over the set base and
chill in the  fridge overnight (about 12 hours).  Caramel and orange
sauce: Place the sugar in a medium pan with 3 tbp  water. Heat gently
until sugar is dissolved and then increase heat  until the syrup
becomes a deep caramel colour. Quickly whisk cream  and butter into
caramel and whisk until it goes smooth, cool. Add  zest and juice of
orange and chill before serving.  To serve, remove from tin and dust
lightly with cocoa. Pour over the  sauce.  Converted by MC_Buster.  Per
