Instructions
Oat pastry:
Pre-heat oven to 160ºC
Place all the ingredients (except the egg yolks) into a food processor.
Pulse until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Add enough egg yolks to the mixture and pulse to form a pliable dough.
Wrap in clingfilm and allow to rest in the fridge for about 30 mins before use.
Roll the pastry thinly out onto a lightly floured surface.
Line the greased tart ring with the pastry, pressing in gently. Chill for 10 minutes.
Line the pastry with greaseproof paper filled with baking beans.
Bake blind at 160C until the pastry is an even medium golden colour.
Remove and cool.
Cream cheese layer:
Place all the ingredients in a bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
Spoon a layer of this filling into the base of the tart shell to come about halfway up.
Leave to chill in the fridge while you make the ganache layer.
Chocolate Ganache layer:
• In a large bowl, place ice blocks and water. Rest a second bowl over the ice to prepare for your ice cream.
• Combine milk and cream in a large pot and bring to a simmer. Add popcorn and salt. Stir well.
• Allow to sit for at least 30mins, overnight is best
• Pass milk and popcorn mixture through a sieve and squeeze out all the moisture. Discard popcorn.
• Bring milk up to a simmer again. Do not boil.
• While milk is heating, beat egg yolks and sugar in an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
• Remove a cup of the milk mixture and pour slowly into egg mixture while beating on high.
• Add egg mixture to remaining milk and return to the stove.
• Allow mixture to thicken slowly. Remove from heat.
• Pass the mixture through a sieve into the prepared iced bowl.
• Stir mixture until it cools completely.
• Place in a freezer proof container and place in the freezer overnight.
