How I make it

Crust

  1. Bring the butter and milk to a boil in a medium saucepan.

  2. Take off the heat and stir in the 200 g (7 oz) crushed biscuits.

  3. Press the mixture evenly into a 10-inch (26 cm) round pan or a square pan.

Chocolate filling

  1. Melt the butter in the same pot you used for the crust (no need to wash it).

  2. Add the maple syrup and vanilla, stir well and bring just to a boil. Take off the heat.

  3. Break in the chocolate, wait 5 minutes, then stir.

  4. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously.

  5. Pulse the walnuts and biscuits together in a food processor to coarse crumbs, add to the chocolate mixture and stir well.

Baking

  1. Pour the filling over the crust and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 30 minutes.
