Ingredients
- 250g digestive biscuits
- 2tbsp cocoa powder
- 125g butter, melted
- 2 egg yolks
- 100g caster sugar
- 600ml milk
- 3 gelatine leaves
- 150g dark chocolate

Method
Put the digestive biscuits in a large plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they resemble bread crumbs. Place them in a bowl and stir in the cocoa powder and melted butter. Mix well. Press and shape the mixture on to the base and sides of a 20cm round ring. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Mix together the egg yolks, caster sugar, corn flour and 4 table spoons of milk. Put aside. Soak the gelatine leaves in a little cold water for about 10 minutes until softened. Heat the remaining milk in a sauce pan over low heat. Break both the chocolate into pieces, then add to the milk with the espresso grains, stirring until the chocolate has melted. Remove from the heat, then stir into the egg mixture. Return the mixture to the pan over a low heat and stir constantly until thickened and smooth. Drain off the gelatine leaves. Then add to the hot custard, stirring until the gelatine has dissolved. Cool for 15 minutes, then pour into the biscuit base. Chill for 3 hours or until set.
