Melt the butter and process it in a blender with the gingerbread biscuits and chocolate chip cookies. Press the mixture into a loose-bottomed pie tin about 24 cm in diameter.

Finely chop the chocolate for the truffle and set aside. Bring the cream and syrup to the boil. Add the chocolate and salt. Stir to make a smooth paste. Pour the truffle over the toffee and place in the refrigerator.
