Daim cake - ikea style

Ingredients

• 1 shortcrust pastry sheet

Daim cream:

• 3.5 ounces Daim candy
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 6 egg yolks
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup cream
• 4.5 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 1 vanilla bean

Ganache:

• 3.5 ounces Daim candy
• 3.5 ounces milk chocolate
• 1/4 cup cream

Materials

• 9-inch springform pan

Preparation

• Place the shortcrust pastry in the springform pan (fold the edges if it's too high). Prick with a fork or fill with weights like beans and pre-bake for 15 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
• Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture whitens. Bring the cream, milk, and sweetened condensed milk to a boil in a saucepan. Add the seeds from the vanilla bean. When the mixture boils, add it to the sweetened egg yolks.
  
• Pour this mixture into the pie crust. Roughly chop 3.5 ounces of Daim candy and add them to the cream.
• Bake for 35 minutes at 280°F (140°C). Allow to cool completely after baking.
  
• Ganache:
  Bring the cream to a boil, then pour it hot over the pieces of milk chocolate. Mix until smooth and homogeneous. Pour over the well-cooled pie. Arrange 3.5 ounces of chopped Daim candy on top. Allow to cool.
• Once well cooled, gently unmold the cake. And there you have it, your Daim cake is ready!
