Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 200g crushed biscuits or cookies (e.g., digestive biscuits, graham crackers, or chocolate wafers)
  • 100g unsalted butter, melted

Chocolate Mixture

  • 200g dark chocolate
  • 200g sweetened condensed milk
  • 60ml heavy cream or whipping cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Additions

  • Chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts) – quantity as desired
  • Dried fruits (raisins, dried berries) – quantity as desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Crush biscuits or cookies into fine crumbs. Mix them thoroughly with melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles damp sand. Press the mixture firmly into the base of a cake pan to create a solid, crunchy foundation.
  2. Melt the Chocolate Mixture: In a heatproof bowl, gently melt the dark chocolate together with sweetened condensed milk and a splash of heavy cream. Stir continuously over low heat or a double boiler until smooth, glossy, and fully combined, ensuring the chocolate does not burn.
  3. Add Flavor Enhancers: Stir in vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture. If desired, fold in chopped nuts or dried fruits evenly to incorporate extra texture and flavor.
  4. Assemble and Chill: Pour the chocolate mixture over the prepared biscuit base, spreading it evenly to the edges. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the cake to set firmly.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled and set, slice the cake using a sharp knife for clean edges. Serve chilled to appreciate its creamy texture and intense chocolate flavor.

Notes

  • Choose high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Press the biscuit base firmly to ensure it holds together well.
  • Melt chocolate slowly using a double boiler or low heat to avoid burning.
  • Allow sufficient chilling time to let the cake set properly.
  • Use room temperature cream for a smooth and well-blended chocolate mixture.
