Step 1/5

Melt 3½ oz of dark chocolate and the butter. Mix together and add the eggs, the sugar and the flour. Mix until you obtain a smooth batter. Pour the mixture into a cake tin and bake for 20 minutes at 350°F. Allow to cool then crumble the chocolate cake.

Melt 3½ oz of dark chocolate. Stick a skewer in the cigar and wrap it in cling wrap. Cut off the excess cling wrap. Brush the cigar with the melted dark chocolate using a brush and sprinkle the cocoa powder. Remove the excess cocoa using a brush. Repeat the process to have 3 chocolate cigars. Place in the freezer.

Arrange 3 matches on the pie dough. Cut out a strip of dough using the matches as a guide. Cut strips of dough the same size as the matches. Place them on a baking sheet covered with a baking mat and bake for 15 minutes at 320°F. Place the whiskey ganache in a piping bag.
