Ingredients

2 servings
  • 1 packet light cooking cream
  • 1 packet white chocolate chips
  • 150 gr butter
  • 1 packet cookie bar mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 packet mixed berry compote
  • 1 packet flaked almonds

Instructions

  1. • Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Grease and line the baking tin with baking paper.
    • In a medium bowl, place white chocolate chips. In a medium saucepan, heat light cooking cream over a medium heat, until steaming, 2-3 minutes. Pour cream over chocolate, then stir until melted and combined. Place in the fridge to cool, 20-30 minutes.
    TIP: You want the cream steaming but not boiling!
  2. • While the ganache is cooling, wipe out saucepan and return to medium-high heat. Melt the butter until beginning to brown, 2-3 minutes. Set aside until cooled slightly, 5 minutes.
    • While the butter is cooling, combine cookie bar mix, eggs and browned butter in a second medium bowl.
  3. • Transfer cookie bar mixture to baking tin and spread evenly using a spatula. Bake until just firm to the touch, 25-28 minutes. Set aside to cool for 15 minutes.
    TIP: To check if it's done, stick a toothpick or skewer in the centre. It should come out clean.
  4. • Whisk the white chocolate ganache until smooth. Slice cookie bar into 9 squares. Drizzle cookie bar with white chocolate ganache. Top with mixed berry compote and flaked almonds to serve.
    TIP: The ganache may look separated initially, but it'll come together after whisking!
