Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 250 grams (8.8 ounces) digestive biscuits
- 200 grams (7 ounces) dark chocolate
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) unsalted butter
Liquid and Sweet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) milk
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Crush biscuits into bite-sized fragments, creating a textural base in a spacious mixing vessel.
- Create a silky chocolate sauce by gently melting butter and chocolate together in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
- Enrich the melted chocolate mixture by incorporating milk, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, whisking until achieving a glossy, uniform consistency.
- Pour the warm chocolate blend over the crushed biscuits, thoroughly coating each fragment and ensuring complete integration.
- Carefully transfer the chocolatey mixture into a parchment-lined pan, using firm pressure to compact the layers and eliminate air pockets.
- Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for a minimum of 3 hours, allowing the cake to solidify and develop a rich, dense texture.
- Once set, extract from refrigerator, slice into elegant portions, and serve at a cool temperature for maximum flavor and structural integrity.
Notes
- Always use high-quality chocolate for a richer, more decadent flavor that elevates the entire dessert.
- Break biscuits into roughly uniform sizes to ensure even chocolate coating and consistent texture throughout the cake.
- Consider adding chopped nuts or dried fruit for extra crunch and flavor complexity that complements the chocolate base.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular biscuits with gluten-free graham crackers or digestive biscuits to accommodate dietary restrictions.
