"Totally chocolate chocolate biscuit cake"

Who doesn't love chocolate??!
This is my own original recipe. Hope you like it :)!








Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 400g milk chocolate
  • 500 ml double cream
  • 300g dark chocolate
  • 2 packets of chocolate biscuits (approx. 28 pcs)
  • 1 cup of coffee
  • 1 tblsp brandy (optional)




Method:

  1. Melt the milk chocolate and leave too cool.


  2. Whip up the double cream until soft peaks start to form. DO NOT OVER WHISK!


  3. Add 1 spoonful of whipped cream to melted chocolate and fold it in gently.

  4. Fold in gradually the rest of the cream to the melted chocolate (in 2-3 goes).
     
  5. Finely chop 200g of dark chocolate and add to the chocolate-cream mixture.

  6. Add brandy to the coffee.
  7. Drop each cookie in to the coffee and lay on the bottom of a 20-24cm spring form pan. Make 2 layers on top of each other. (Leave a little space from the sides for the chocolate-cream mixture).

  8. Add half of the chocolate-cream mixture.
  9. Lay down another double layer of cookies and add the rest of the chocolate-cream mixture.

  10. Put in the fridge to set for couple of hours until overnight.
  11. Remove the sides of the pan, chop up the rest of the 100g of dark chocolate and cover the sides.
  12. Now easy, easy...NO, don't eat the whole thing at once!!!




Review
: The cake is very chocolaty and soft and creamy! The chopped chocolate gives a nice crunch to the whole thing! Goes very well with a cup of tea!


Tip:
 DO NOT OVER WHISK THE CREAM!!! Otherwise it will become buttery and taste like butter!
