Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 packs Marie biscuits (36 pieces, 180 grams)
- 6 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/2 can (200 grams / 7 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
Binding Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) butter, melted
Preparation Ingredients:
- None
Instructions
- Crush biscuits into rustic, uneven fragments, ensuring varied textures for a more interesting bite.
- Prepare a loaf pan by lightly coating with butter or line with parchment paper, creating a smooth surface for easy removal.
- Melt butter in a spacious mixing bowl, then whisk in rich cocoa powder and velvety condensed milk until the mixture transforms into a glossy, uniform consistency.
- Gently incorporate the biscuit chunks into the chocolate base, stirring carefully to ensure each piece is generously coated with the decadent mixture.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, pressing firmly and evenly to eliminate air pockets and create a compact structure.
- Alternatively, use aluminum foil to shape the mixture into a cylindrical log, rolling and twisting the edges to secure the form.
- Place the pan or log in the freezer for 2-3 hours, allowing the cake to solidify and develop a rich, fudgy texture.
- Once completely set, remove from freezer and slice into clean, precise portions using a sharp knife.
- Serve immediately or store remaining slices in an airtight container in the freezer for future enjoyment.
Notes
- Customize biscuit size by breaking them into smaller or larger chunks for varying textures and bite experiences.
- Choose high-quality cocoa powder for richer, more intense chocolate flavor that elevates the entire dessert.
- Try different biscuit types like graham crackers, digestive biscuits, or chocolate cookies to create unique variations of the cake.
- Consider adding optional mix-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips to enhance flavor complexity and provide delightful unexpected crunch.
