How to Make Chocolate Bavarian Pie

  1. Grease the base of a 20cm springform cake pan.
  2. Place 200g digestive biscuits in a food processor and process to fine crumbs.
  3. Add 75g melted unsalted butter to the crumbs and process until combined.
  4. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the base of the prepared pan. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until firm.
  5. In a heatproof bowl, combine 400ml whole milk, 200g marshmallows (mini marshmallows work well), and 200g dark chocolate (chopped).
  6. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler). Ensure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
  7. Stir the mixture constantly until the chocolate and marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
  8. Remove the bowl from the pan.
  9. In a separate heatproof cup, sprinkle 7g of powdered gelatine over 1 tablespoon of cold water. Let it bloom for a few minutes.
  10. Place the cup in the simmering water and stir until the gelatine is completely dissolved. Stir the dissolved gelatine into the chocolate mixture.
  11. Let the chocolate mixture cool for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  12. Gently fold in 200ml whipped heavy cream into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
  13. Pour the chocolate mixture over the chilled biscuit base and smooth the top.
  14. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until completely set.
  15. Before serving, spread an extra layer of whipped cream (optional) over the pie and top with shaved dark chocolate.
