Italian Nonna’s Easy No-Bake Chocolate Biscuit Cake
Ingredients:
– Biscuits: 600g, crushed into small pieces
– Sugar: 120g
– Cocoa powder: 60g, for that rich chocolate flavor
– Milk: 250ml
– Butter: 60g, melted
– Vanilla Extract: A pinch, for that extra warmth and flavor
Instructions:
1. Let’s start by preparing the biscuit mixture. In a large bowl, mix together the crushed biscuits and cocoa powder until they’re nicely coated with cocoa.
2. Now, onto the chocolate mixture. In a saucepan, combine the sugar and milk. Heat it up over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves completely.
3. Add the melted butter to the saucepan and keep stirring until everything is well combined and starts to gently simmer. Once it’s off the heat, stir in that pinch of vanilla extract for a subtle hint of flavor.
4. Pour the hot chocolate mixture over the crushed biscuits in the bowl. Mix everything together until the biscuits are evenly coated and the mixture is smooth.
5. Time to form our cake. Line a loaf pan or round cake mold with cling film or parchment paper for easy removal later. Transfer the biscuit and chocolate mixture into the prepared mold, pressing it down firmly to ensure there are no air pockets.
6. Pop the cake into the fridge and let it chill for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight, until it’s completely set.
7. If you’re in the mood for a simple chocolate icing, mix together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, a bit of milk, and melted butter until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk or sugar as needed. Spread this over the chilled cake before serving.
8. Once set, gently remove the cake from the mold and peel away the cling film or parchment paper. If you’ve added icing, let it set in the fridge for another 30 minutes.
9. Now, it’s time to slice and serve your chilled chocolate biscuit cake. You can garnish it with grated chocolate, nuts, or fresh berries for an extra touch of indulgence.
Indulge in the sheer delight of our Quick No-Bake Chocolate Biscuit Cake – a dessert that’s not just a treat for the taste buds, but also a lifesaver for those sudden sweet cravings and impromptu gatherings. Enjoy the simplicity of making and the joy of sharing this decadent chocolaty delight!
