Chocolate Biscuit Cake Overview
Ingredients and Structure
Butter: 225g unsalted butter
Chocolate: 200g dark chocolate, 200g milk chocolate
Condensed Milk: 200ml
Biscuits: 150g rich tea biscuits, 100g digestive biscuits
Add-ins: 120g Maltesers, 4x (32g) Crunchie bars
Preparation and Steps
* Line a 2lb loaf tin with a double layer of clingfilm, and for a smooth finish, parchment paper.
* Combine the butter with both of the chocolates and condensed milk in a medium-sized heat-proof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water and leave to melt.
* Stir occasionally then remove from heat once completely smooth.
* Leave to cool, about 10 minutes.
* Break biscuits into medium and small pieces into a large bowl.
* Pour about 3/4 of the chocolate mixture over the broken biscuits, mix until pieces are coated with the mixture.
* Add the Maltesers and Crunchie pieces and mix to distribute.
* Pour half of the remaining chocolate into the bottom of the prepared tin and spread it out evenly with a spatula, making sure to get the mixture into the corners.
* Tip about half of biscuit mixture into the tin and spread out evenly, pressing the surface down firmly with a spatula or large metal spoon to compress the mixture and remove any air pockets.
* Spoon in the remaining biscuit mixture and repeat.
* Smooth and flatten out the top.
* Pour the remaining chocolate mixture over the top and smooth with a spatula.
* Refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours.
* Once set, remove from tin and peel away clingfilm and parchment paper.
* Cut into slices and enjoy.
* Will keep for up to 3 weeks in an airtight container in the fridge.
