Ingredients
 
 

  • 500 g Tea biscuit
  • ½ cup Dutch cocoa powder
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 150 g Butter

Chocolate ganache:

  • 100 g Heavy cream
  • 100 g Dark chocolate

Assembly:

  • ½ cup Walnuts

Instructions
 

Make the chocolate syrup:

  • In a small pan mix together granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and water on low to medium heat.
  • Add the butter and mix with a whisk until it’s fully melted. Add the vanilla extract and mix for another minute. When the mixture is completely smooth, set the mixture aside to cool for 15 minutes.
  • Break the biscuit into small pieces with your hands or with a food processor.
  • Pour the chocolate sauce into the bowl with the biscuits.
  • Mix well with a wooden spoon until all the biscuit pieces are well coated.
  • Add the mixture into a parchment paper-lined cake pan and press down the mixture with a spoon. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Make the chocolate ganache:

  • Melt dark chocolate and heavy cream in a small to medium mixing bowl in the microwave for about 50 seconds.
  • Let the chocolate and the cream sit for 10 minutes for the chocolate to melt, then mix until the chocolate ganache is smooth and silky.
  • Pour the chocolate ganache on top of the biscuit cake and smooth the top with a spoon.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and place the biscuit cake in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
  • Toast walnut in a pan and chop with a sharp knife.
  • Top the cake with the toasted walnuts. Serve next to a coffee or tea, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Add some of your favorite add-ins! Make this recipe your own and add your favorite add-ins: chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, chopped pecans, chocolate chunks, M&M, caramel sauce, white chocolate, kinder, toffee, and more! Be creative!
  •  Make sure you line your baking pan with parchment paper to prevent the cake to stick to the pan.
  • If you are keeping this recipe simple, add your favorite nuts like hazelnuts, almonds, pistachios, etc. we highly recommend toasting the nuts before putting them into the salami.
  • Keep the cake chilled in the fridge before serving. if you place the cake at room temperature, the chocolate may melt.
