List of items needed to make a dish.
Cake Ingredients:
600 grams, which is approximately 2 and a half cups, of crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers.
120 grams, which is equivalent to half a cup, of granulated sugar.
60 grams, which is equal to half a cup, of cocoa powder without added sugar.
250 milliliters of milk, which is equivalent to 1 cup.
60 grams of unsalted butter, which is equivalent to 1/4 cup.
A bit of vanilla extract
For the topping:
100 grams (equivalent to 3.5 ounces) of dark chocolate, cut into small pieces.
130ml of heavy cream with 33% fat, which is equivalent to 1/2 cup.
Instructions
1. Make the cake bottom:
Cover the Pan: Cover a circular cake pan or rectangular baking dish with parchment paper or plastic wrap, making sure it extends over the edges to make it easier to remove.
Crush the cookies: Crush the cookies into small pieces using a plastic bag and a rolling pin or a food processor until they are in coarse crumbs.
Prepare the chocolate mix: In a pot, combine sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and butter on medium heat. Mix until everything is well combined and the butter is completely melted. Take it off the heat and add a little bit of vanilla extract.
Mix the crushed cookies with the chocolate mixture, making sure all the cookie pieces are evenly covered. Push the mix into the pan you have ready, making sure it is spread out evenly.
2. Make the Glaze:
Melt the chocolate: Cut the dark chocolate into small pieces and put it in a bowl that can withstand heat. Warm the cream until it starts to boil, then pour it over the chocolate. Wait for a moment, then mix until it’s smooth.
Spread the frosting: Spread the frosting evenly on top of the cake.
Relax and Enjoy:
Chill: Put the cake in the fridge for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Serve the cake by lifting it using the parchment paper, cutting it into slices, and serving it cold.
Ideas for how to serve food:
With Fresh Berries: Serve with some fresh berries on the side to add a tangy flavor that contrasts with the rich chocolate.
With Whipped Cream: Put a spoonful of whipped cream for an extra treat.
With Coffee or Tea: Have a slice with your preferred hot drink.
Tips for Cooking:
Cool the cake for a complete 4 hours to get the best texture and flavor.
Biscuit Texture: To make the cake smoother, crush the biscuits into small pieces. For a chunkier texture, keep the pieces larger.
Chocolate Glaze: Make sure the chocolate and cream mix is smooth before pouring it on the cake for a glossy look.
