Chocolate pie with toffee sauce & coffee cream

SERVES 10-12 PREP 25 mins plus at least 2 hrs chilling COOK 25 mins

350g/12oz graham crackers 140g/5oz butter, melted 50g/2oz desiccated coconut 200g/7oz milk chocolate, chopped 200g/7oz dark chocolate, chopped 250ml/9fl oz milk 300ml/1/2pt double cream 6 egg yolks 3 tbsp cornflour 100g/4oz light soft brown sugar 50g/2oz hazelnuts, chopped

FOR THE TOFFEE SAUCE 300g/11oz golden caster sugar 100g/4oz butter, diced 200ml/7fl oz double cream

FOR THE COFFEE CREAM 1 tbsp instant coffee 350ml/12fl oz double cream 25g/1oz golden caster sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract

1 In a food processor, blend the graham crackers with the butter and coconut to make the base for the pie. Press it into a deep 21cm fluted tart tin, going all the way up the sides and making sure the corners are not too thick.

2 In a large saucepan, melt both chocolates with the milk and cream over a very low heat, stirring slowly all the time. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with the cornflour and sugar.

3 When the chocolate has melted, add the egg mixture and stir together until it thickens, about 10-12 mins. When the texture is like thick custard, pour it into the tin and even out the top using a spatula. Sprinkle with the hazelnuts and place in the fridge for at least 2 hrs.

4 Meanwhile, make the toffee sauce. Dissolve the sugar and 2 tbsp water in a large pan over a low heat. Bring to the boil and cook until golden and caramelised, about 2 mins. Whisk in the butter in small batches, then remove from the heat and stir through the cream. Set aside to cool.

5 To make the coffee cream, mix the coffee in 1 tsp boiling water to make a paste. In a large bowl, whip the cream halfway, then add the coffee, sugar and vanilla, and whip until soft peaks form. Cover and chill until ready to serve.

6 To serve, cut the pie into wedges. Reheat the toffee sauce in a small saucepan or the microwave and serve with the coffee cream.
