Chocolate Biscuit Cake
Ingredients
plain biscuits (petit beurre) 4-5 packages
200 ml milk
Cream:
200 g sugar
500 ml milk
4 tablespoons cornstarch
150 g dark chocolate (or milk chocolate)
200 g butter or margarine
rum
Garnish:
Coconut
ground nuts
Preparation
1
Cream:
2
Put 300 ml milk and sugar in a saucepan over low heat (if you have a pan with double bottom cos it does not stick the cream)
3
In a bowl mix the remaining milk with 4 tablespoons of starch, mixing well with a whisk to dissolve better the starch.
4
When the milk is hot, mix it with the one with starch and continue boiling the cream,stiring constantly with the whisk, until thickened like a pudding.
5
Remove from the heat and then melt chocolate in the microwave, about 2 minutes (check it every 30 seconds), then incorporate it into the cream and blend it well. At the end, add 1 teaspoon rum (optional).
6
Let the cream to cool (finger temperature), then mix the soft butter with electric mixer and gradually incorporate it in cream, then you can assemble the cake.
7
In a bowl put milk (200 ml) to dip the cookies.
8
Prepare a dish (rectangular or square, or even a tray) and place one layer of biscuits soaked in milk (I’m soaked 2-3 seconds).
9
Put a layer of biscuits, then cream (3-4 tablespoons each layer) and continue so until cream finish. I had the last layer of cream (4 layers of biscuits and 4 of cream ).
10
Level the surface then ornate it with coconut and nuts on the side.

About
I made biscuits cake because it seems the easiest to do! This time I made it with chocolate cream because the other one was with vanilla and I garnish it with nuts and coconut. You can top it with what you like more, this is what I had in the pantry :-) . It’s great!
