Chocolate Biscuit Cake

\

Ingredients:

250 grams tea biscuits (I used biscuits with nuts)

125 grams unsalted butter

125 grams sugar

250 grams dark chocolate

2 tsp milk.

Method:

Break the biscuits into small bite size pieces. Beat the sugar and butter and keep aside. Melt the dark chocolate with the milk using double boiler method and when it cools down a bit, add it to the butter mixture and mix well. Add in the biscuit pieces and coat well with the chocolate mix.

If you want individual servings, use small cupcake liners and for a big cake, use a greased pan/bowl according to requirements. Gently put in the biscuit mixture into the bowl and fill tightly without gaps.

 For a smoother finish, powder in the biscuit in the mixture towards the end and give it a smooth finish by covering the gaps.

Garnish with either more dark chocolate or sugar balls or dust with icing sugar and refrigerate for atleast 3 hours and serve.
