Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Digestive biscuits (or any tea biscuits)
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 100 ml Heavy cream
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare an 8x8-inch square dish by lining it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
2. Break the digestive biscuits into bite-sized pieces and set them aside in a bowl.
3. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the dark chocolate, heavy cream, and unsalted butter. Stir occasionally until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
4. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
5. Pour a small amount of the melted chocolate mixture into the lined dish, spreading it evenly to create a thin base layer.
6. Add half of the broken biscuits into the dish in a single layer, then pour half of the remaining chocolate mixture over them. Use a spatula to ensure the biscuits are fully coated.
7. Layer the remaining biscuits on top, followed by the rest of the chocolate mixture. Again, spread evenly to cover all the biscuits.
8. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts evenly over the top as garnish.
9. Transfer the dish to the refrigerator and allow it to set for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
10. Once set, lift the dessert out using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board. Cut into squares or rectangles to serve.
11. Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious Chocolate and Biscuits dessert!
