- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 100 g (3.5oz) milk chocolate
- 100 g (3.5oz) dark chocolate
- 200 g (7.1oz) unsalted butter, soft
- 300 g (10.6oz) light muscavado sugar
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten

- 250 ml (8.8fl oz) single cream

- 350 g (12.3oz) Bourbon biscuits
- 0.5 tbsp cocoa powder
- Preheat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas mark 4.
- First, make the crust.
- Melt the 150g butter in a small pan over a low heat.
- Use a rolling pin to crush the biscuits with the cocoa powder to a fine crumb, or blitz in a food processor, pour in the butter and pulse together until combined.
- Tip the biscuit mixture into the tin then use your fingers to push the crumb into the tin, use the back of a metal spoon to help compact and smooth it.
- Bake the biscuit base in the oven for 10-12 minutes then allow it to cool slightly.
- In a small bowl, mix the salt into the caramel and stir to loosen it a little, pour this into the cooled biscuit shell.
- For the filling - melt the chocolates in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water (dont let the water touch the bottom of the bowl or boil).
- Beat the butter and sugar together until light and smooth, gradually add the beaten eggs and whisk in gently.
- Next add the cocoa and whisk in, followed by the melted chocolate and the single cream, stir this all together gently and pour over the caramel.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until the filling is gently set, but still has movement.
- Let the pie cool completely then top with whipped cream.
- You could decorate with cocoa powder, stars, grated chocolate or whatever takes your fancy.
