Elevate your dessert game with its combination of crunchy texture, luxurious chocolate, and a dusting of powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
1. Crush the digestive biscuits into small crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
2. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, sugar, and cocoa powder together. Stir gently until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. Add the dark chocolate to the saucepan and stir until fully melted. Remove the saucepan from heat.
4. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract while the mixture is still warm, ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
5. Pour the chocolate mixture over the crushed biscuits in the mixing bowl. Stir well until the biscuit crumbs are fully coated in the chocolate mixture.
6. Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface and dust it lightly with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
7. Transfer the biscuit and chocolate mixture onto the parchment paper. Shape it into a log or sausage-like roll using your hands, compressing the mixture firmly as you go for a cohesive texture.
8. Wrap the roll tightly in the parchment paper, twisting the ends to secure it in place. Refrigerate the roll for at least 4 hours, or until it is firm and set.
9. Once chilled, unwrap the roll and slice it into 1/2-inch thick slices using a sharp knife.
10. Serve immediately or store the slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
