Chocolate Biscuit Cake - Individual


Health Warning…
Don’t you love when you discover a new twist on a favourite recipe? I misread part of this recipe given to me by my sister & added a tablespoon of honey in place of the teaspoon called for resulting in a mixture that did not quite set but retained a fudge like texture - I would not have believed there could be anything more scrumptious than the original & for any of you who thought the “kladkakka” should come with a health warning this is definitely one to be avoided….  JJ

Ingredients & Costing…




Dairy Milk Chocolate x 250g
1.89
Butter x 100g (unsalted)
0.54
Double Cream x 5 tblsp
0.40
Honey x 1 tblsp
0.05
Digestive Biscuits x 250g (broken)
0.25
Maltesers x 2 pkts
1.78
White Chocolate x 50g
0.32








6 Individual Portions
€5.23





It Couldn’t be easier…
æ      Melt the milk chocolate & butter in a small bowl over a pan of simmering water
æ      Stir in the honey & gradually add the double cream
æ      Combine the biscuits & Maltesers in a mixing bowl, stir in the melted chocolate ensuring the biscuits are well coated
æ      Double line individual tartlet cases with cling film & divide the mixture evenly pressing down well
æ      Place in a refrigerator to chill for a minimum of 2 hours
æ      Melt the white chocolate in a small bowl over a pan of simmering water, remove the chocolate biscuit cakes from their individual tartlet cases & drizzle with the melted chocolate, allow to cool
æ      Store in the refrigerator until required, remove & allow to stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving
æ      Serve with whipped cream & fresh strawberries or raspberries



It’s a Rocky Road…
Experiment with the basic recipe - try adding mini marshmallows & roasted hazelnuts in place of some of the biscuits… JJ

  1. just made the chocolate biscuit cakes for my friends hen party - had an anxious moment when it look like the mixture had split... couple of vigorous whisks later things were back on track - it might be an idea to let the melted butter & chocolate cool a little before adding the cream :-))
