Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Dark chocolate
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 can Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 250 grams Digestive biscuits (crushed)
- 50 grams Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or almonds)
- 50 grams Chocolate chips
Instructions
Line an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper, ensuring the edges hang over for easy removal.
In a large microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together until smooth and glossy, stirring occasionally.
Add the sweetened condensed milk to the melted chocolate mixture and whisk until fully combined. Stir in the cocoa powder and vanilla extract.
Once the mixture is smooth, add the crushed digestive biscuits, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips. Gently fold everything together until the dry ingredients are evenly coated in the chocolate mixture.
Transfer the chocolate mixture into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly and pressing it down firmly with a spatula or the back of a spoon to remove any air pockets.
Place the pan in the refrigerator and let the cake set for at least 4 hours, or until firm to the touch.
Once the cake is set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the pan. Slice into wedges or squares and serve immediately.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
