This stunning cocoa-laced crust is surprisingly simple to make, as there’s no kneading, rolling or cutting to fit. Simply press the dough into the pan in an even layer, then bake, fill and set. What’s more, the silky ganache filling offers a double dose of rich chocolate, plus a mild yet invigorating hit of peppermint. Serve with fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream.
