Preparation method

How do you make this?

Preheat the oven to 190 °C.

Put all the ingredients for the base in a food processor and mix until sandy. Press into a cake pan and bake for 12 minutes in the oven at 190 °C. Remove the pan and let it cool.

Put the cream, the seeds from the vanilla pod, and the pod itself in a saucepan and bring to a brief boil.

Remove the vanilla pod. Add the butter and chocolate and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then mix everything together and keep stirring until it becomes a nice shiny, homogeneous mass.

Pour the chocolate mixture into the cooled cake base and let everything set in a cool place like the garage. (In the fridge, it will become too hard, so it's best to find a cool spot.)

Sprinkle salt flakes on top and cut into bars or pieces.
