The recipe below is for 6 to 8 people
Time: 30 min. + 1 hour in the fridge
Supplies:
- For the base: 75 g butter & 120 g biscuits
- For the caramel: 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 60 g butter & 2 tablespoons caster sugar
- For the chocolate: 200 g dark chocolate & 50 g white chocolate
Preparation method:
1. Start by making your base
Crumble the biscuits with your hand (or food processor), melt the butter and mix it with the crumbs. Make sure it becomes a nice and sticky whole. You can add some melted butter if necessary to ensure the crumbs stick.
Divide the mixture over a greased springform pan (preferably one with a diameter of 24 cm) and press everything down with a spoon so that it becomes a firm whole. Then put in the refrigerator.
2. Caramel layer
Melt the butter with the caster sugar in a pan and keep stirring well. When the sugar has melted, add the condensed milk. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes over a low heat and make sure you keep stirring well. When the caramel has thickened slightly, turn off the heat.
Divide the caramel over the cookie base and place it back in the refrigerator.
