Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or more)
- 100 grams Milk chocolate
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 ml Heavy cream
- 100 grams Digestive biscuits (or graham crackers), crushed into small chunks
- 50 grams Roasted hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
- 50 grams Dried cranberries or raisins
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt flakes
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder or powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
1. Line a small square baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches) with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
2. In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and unsalted butter. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method), ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir gently until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and combined.
3. Remove the bowl from heat and slowly stir in the heavy cream until smooth and glossy.
4. Add the crushed digestive biscuits, roasted hazelnuts, and dried cranberries into the chocolate mixture. Fold everything together gently with a spatula until evenly combined.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly and pressing it down gently with the back of a spoon or spatula.
6. Sprinkle the top with sea salt flakes for a subtle flavor boost.
7. Refrigerate the dish for at least 2-3 hours, or until the chocolate has fully set.
8. Once set, lift the chocolate slab out of the dish using the parchment paper and place it on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut it into bite-sized squares or bars.
9. Lightly dust the pieces with cocoa powder or powdered sugar for a finishing touch, if desired.
10. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
