Bring the cream nearly to the boil, remove from heat and add the chocolate,
broken into small pieces – cover and set aside for 5 minutes. Line a 1 lb
loaf tin with cling film. Take the chocolate mixture and beat well to
combine the cream and chocolate – add vanilla if liked. Leave to cool,
beating occasionally. When it begins to thicken, layer the chocolate and
biscuits into the tin, beginning with a layer of chocolate. There should be
about 5 even layers of chocolate and biscuits eachr. Cover with cling film
and chill well, preferably overnight. Turn out onto a serving plate, peel
of clink film and cut into thin slices.
YUM! The chocolate stays quite soft, so this is a cake that can only be
eaten with a spoon / fork.
NICE biscuits are little rectangular vanilla cookies with a sugar crust in
top, and made with a tiny bit of coconut in them. Any other kind of sugar
cookie / biscuit (UK meaning) can probably be used. My Grandmother in
Germany uses ‘Butterkekse’ or butter cookies.
