I developed this recipe for a date night and also to use up some of the excess goodies I had left over from the BBC Good Food Show. Before I get on with the recipe, I would just like to say a thank you to Lotus Biscoff for the samples. If you are not aware of this company feel free to look at what they have on offer- http://www.lotusbiscuits.co.uk/
Serves 6-8
Prep 30 mins
Ingredients
200g of Lotus biscuits
100g unsalted butter- melted
100g dark chocolate
100g milk chocolate
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp icing sugar
200ml whipping cream
Creme fraiche, a small tub
Zest and segments of an orange
Equipment
12 x 36 rectangular tin or a 25cm round tin. I recommend lining the tin with cling film, this makes it easier to take out.
Method
- Crush the Lotus biscuits until they resemble sand, combine with the melted butter. Press the mixture into your tin, pushing slightly up the sides; set aside in the fridge.
- Melt both the dark and milk chocolate. Whilst the chocolate is melting, whip up the cream until it forms soft peaks.
- Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the vanilla extract and sifted icing sugar. Fold in the whipped cream.
- Pour the mixture on top of your biscuit base; set aside in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Zest the orange and add to the creme fraiche. Then cut away the skin or the orange and cut out the segments.
- Once the torte has set, serve with the orange flavoured creme fraiche and orange segments- enjoy!
- If you are unsure of how to prepare the orange, here is a helpful video:
