Saturday, September 13, 2025

Ingredients

For cookie base

500g plain cookies or biscuits, broken into pieces (17.6 oz)

75g walnuts, chopped (2.6 oz / about 3/4 cup)

120g granulated sugar (4.2 oz / about 1/2 cup)

60g unsweetened cocoa powder (2.1 oz / about 1/2 cup)

250ml whole milk (8.5 fl oz / 1 cup)

150g butter, softened (5.3 oz / about 2/3 cup)

Pinch of vanilla extract

For chocolate glaze

160g dark chocolate, chopped (5.6 oz)

30g butter (1 oz / 2 tablespoons)

Preparations

Break the cookies into irregular pieces, leaving some larger chunks for texture. Place in a large mixing bowl.

Add chopped walnuts to the cookie pieces and mix together.

In a saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa powder, and milk. Whisk until smooth with no lumps.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil.

Remove from heat and whisk in the softened butter and vanilla extract until smooth.

Pour the hot chocolate mixture over the cookie and walnut pieces.

Mix thoroughly until all cookies are well coated with the chocolate mixture.

Line a round cake pan or serving plate with plastic wrap for easy removal.

Press the cookie mixture firmly into the pan, creating an even, compact layer.

Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely set.

Place chopped dark chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl.

Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or use short microwave intervals.

Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Let cool for 5 minutes until slightly thickened but still pourable.
