Ingredients
Scale
- 200g (about 7 oz) digestive biscuits (or any plain biscuits/cookies)
- 200g (about 7 oz) dark chocolate (or milk chocolate for a sweeter taste)
- 100g (about 1/2 cup) unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar (optional, depending on your chocolate sweetness)
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup or honey (for sweetness and texture)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, for crunch)
- 1/4 cup dried fruit (optional, like raisins or cranberries)
- A pinch of sea salt (optional, to enhance the flavor)
Instructions
-
Prepare the biscuits:
- Break the biscuits into small pieces (not crumbs, just rough pieces) in a large bowl. Set aside.
-
Melt the chocolate mixture:
- In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate, butter, sugar, and golden syrup (or honey) together. You can do this in a microwave in short bursts, stirring in between, or over a double boiler on the stove. Stir until smooth and combined.
-
Combine the chocolate and biscuits:
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the broken biscuits and gently stir until all the biscuits are coated with the chocolate. If you want, you can also add chopped nuts or dried fruit at this point for extra flavor and texture.
-
Set the cake:
- Transfer the biscuit and chocolate mixture into a lined or greased cake pan or a rectangular dish. Use the back of a spoon to press it down firmly and evenly.
-
Chill to set:
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 2-3 hours (or overnight) until firm.
-
Serve:
- Once set, cut the No-Bake Chocolate Biscuit Cake into squares or slices and serve. You can drizzle some extra melted chocolate on top or sprinkle with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
Notes
- You can customize this cake with your favorite mix-ins such as dried fruits, nuts, or even marshmallows for a more indulgent treat.
- If you don’t have golden syrup, you can substitute with honey or maple syrup.
- If you’re using milk chocolate, you may want to reduce or omit the sugar, as milk chocolate is usually sweeter than dark chocolate.
