Ingredients

For the Cake:

600g biscuits (digestive biscuits or graham crackers recommended)
120g sugar
60g cocoa powder
250ml milk
60g butter
A pinch of vanilla extract

Optional Garnishes & Add-Ins:

Chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts)
Desiccated coconut
Chocolate chips
A drizzle of melted chocolate
A layer of jam or Nutella between biscuit layers

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Biscuits
Break the biscuits into small pieces, roughly 1–2 cm chunks. Leave a mix of smaller crumbs and slightly larger pieces for texture. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2: Make the Chocolate Mixture
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and butter. Stir continuously until the butter melts and the mixture becomes smooth and glossy. Add a pinch of vanilla extract and mix well.

Step 3: Combine Biscuits and Chocolate
Pour the warm chocolate mixture over the broken biscuits. Gently fold with a spatula until all biscuits are coated in chocolate. Avoid crushing the biscuit pieces—you want distinct chunks throughout.

Step 4: Shape the Cake
Line a loaf pan or small baking dish with parchment paper. Transfer the biscuit-chocolate mixture into the pan. Press it down evenly and firmly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 5: Chill and Set
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or overnight for best results, until firm and sliceable.

Step 6: Serve
Remove the cake from the pan using the parchment paper. Slice into desired portions and serve as a dessert, snack, or treat with coffee or tea.
