This is a cold pie, very popular in Brazil (they call it  "a Dutch pie")  and very easy to prepare.

BOTTOM:
200g of Maizena or Maria cookies crushed in a food processor
100g margarine, cold

Mix the finely crumbled cookies with the margarine and spread on the bottom of a 24cm mold (with a removable side). Insert in a preheated oven for about 8 minutes. Take it out of the oven and let it cool off.

FILLING:
250 g unsalted butter
2 cups of sugar
4 egg yolks
vanille essence 
2 cups of creme fraiche, very cold

Chocolate cookies (I have used too thick ones, it is better to use thin ones)

Mix very well all ingredients, except the creme fraiche, until you get a light yellow/white cream. Add the creme fraiche and mix delicately. Set it apart.
Check whether the cookie base is not warm anymore. Distribute the chocolate cookies around and add the cream.

TOPPING (Ganache):

200g chocolate, melted (I used a 100g bar of half bitter and a 100g bar of milk chocolate)
1 cup creme fraiche

Mix creme fraiche to melted chocolate. Pour on the pie and spread it. Take it to the fridge. Before serving it, remove the pie from the mold. Add some red fruit on the top (optional).
