Ingredients
For the Chocolate Biscuit Cake
- 1 can La Lechera Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks) at room temperature
- 8 oz bittersweet chocolate chopped
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 12-15 digestive biscuits such as Maria cookies
- 1/2 cup milk
For the Chocolate Ganache
- 8 oz bittersweet chocolate chopped
- 4 oz heavy cream
- Sprinkles optional
Instructions
For the Chocolate Biscuit Cake
- Melt the chocolate on a double boiler or in 30 second bursts in the microwave
- Using a mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy. Clean the sides of the bowl with a spatula
- Slowly add the condensed milk and vanilla
- Finally, pour the melted chocolate and mix until combined
- Spread the chocolate mixture to cover the entire surface of your dome or semi-circle domes
- Soak 3-4 digestive biscuits in milk for 5 seconds (don't let them in the milk too long or they'll become mushy). Break the apart with your fingers and add on top of the chocolate
- Cover with some more chocolate cream, repeating the cookie and chocolate layer 2 more times. Freeze the molds for 4-6 hours or until firm
- Unmold the domes and unite top and bottom to create a sphere or ball. Roll with your hands to smooth them out. Freeze for 15 minutes in a sheet pan lined with parchment paper
For the Chocolate Ganache
- Place the chopped chocolate into a large bowl
- Heat the cream in the microwave until hot
- Pour the cream into the chocolate and wait for 2 minutes for the hot cream to melt the chocolate
- Mix with a spoon until creamy
- Place a cooling rack on top of a cookie sheet (to catch any drippings). Pour ganache on top of each ball to cover the entire surface. Shake the rack to release the excess chocolate
- If you'd like, add some sprinkles and freeze for 10 minutes or until set
- Keep in the freezer before serving
- Enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe can be made in a 8x8" square baking pan or in a 6 inch cake pan.
- Cake should be kept in the freezer just before serving
