Method

  1. Tip the flour, butter, icing sugar and cinnamon into a food processor and pulse to make crumbs. Add 2 1⁄2-3 tbsp water and pulse until it comes together. Wrap in cling film and chill for 20 mins.
  2. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and use to line a deep 23cm loose-based tart tin. Leave the excess pastry overhanging the edges of the tin. Line with baking parchment, fill with baking beans and chill for 15 mins.
  3. Bake for 15 mins, remove the paper and beans, then bake 5 mins more until the pastry is crisp and pale golden.
  4. Beat the eggs and sugar together to create a mousse-like texture. Stir in the vanilla and melted butter, then fold in the flour and cocoa. Scatter the nuts and chocolate over the pastry case and pour the filling on top. Bake for 30 mins until firm with a slight wobble. Trim away the excess pastry and leave to cool. If freezing, wrap in cling film and foil. To defrost, unwrap and thaw.
  5. Serve at room temperature or warm, with a scoop of ice cream and dusting of cocoa.

    I wasn't overly impressed but maybe it was my spanish cocoa powder and chocolate, it was a bit too bitter instead of sweet. Would make it again using different ones and leave out the cinnamon as it was too much all together.

    I used this recipe for brownies as didn't have time to make the pastry. the only changes I made to the filling was to use 100g of white chocolate instead of plain choc & nuts. They were very chewy and absolutely scummy. I've got dessert course for NYE dinner party so plan to make this with pastry base.

    I used a pastry case and put chunks of white chocolate in before the filling, was delicious. However took 40 minutes in the oven not 30.

    I have now made this twice, not the most attractive of desserts but the taste certainly makes up for it. Everybody raved about it, i also missed out the nuts and replaced with white chocolate. If i was to make again i would serve it already sliced on the plate in order to make it look more attractive
