Ingredients
Chocolate buttercream
- 12 unsalted butter oz/350g
- 12 icing sugar confectioner’s sugar, sifted, quantities oz/350g or 14 oz/400g
- 2.5 cocoa powder sifted, oz/70g
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ¼ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp brandy or use ¼ cup of cream only, if not using alcohol
- 1 tbsp cream
Milk mixture
- 1 cup milk not hot, warm
- 2 tbsp brandy
- 2 Marie biscuits Maria Cookies about 10 oz / 280g, packets of
- 8 x 4 inch bread loaf pan lined with plastic wrap
To decorate
- cashew roasted, chopped
- chocolate sauce
Instructions
Chocolate buttercream
- Place the butter, icing sugar and salt in a bowl and mix on low, until well combined.
- Add the cocoa powder, and mix again on low until mixed through. Then turn mixer to medium speed and mix until light and fluffy.
- Add vanilla and brandy and mix again until well-incorporated, and still soft and fluffy.
- Spread a thin layer of chocolate buttercream on the bottom of your lined loaf pan (or any other dish that you're using with similar dimensions).
- Add the milk and brandy to a separate bowl. Then place a few cookies in the milk for no more than 3-5 seconds (the cookies should NOT be completely soaked through and disintegrate). Place these cookies in a layer over the buttercream.
- Spread another layer of chocolate buttercream, followed by the milky Maria cookies.
- Repeat until you reach the top, and end with a layer of cookies (this layer should be well packed - and only if you are hoping to unmold the dessert before serving). There should be some leftover buttercream to decorate the outside of the cake.
- Cover and let it chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Optional - if you need to unmold your chocolate biscuit pudding, unmold it onto a serving platter and apply an extra layer of chocolate buttercream to smoothen the sides and top.
- Drizzle with chocolate sauce and place some roasted and coarsely chopped cashew nuts on top.
- Cover and leave in the fridge until ready to serve.
