Ingredients

For the Biscuit Layers:

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup milk

For the Cream Filling:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese or cream cheese (optional for extra creaminess)

For the Chocolate Topping:

• 100g milk or dark chocolate (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon butter

Equipment Needed

• 9-inch square or round pan
• Mixing bowls
• Spoon or spatula for spreading the filling
• Whisk for whipping the cream
• Small saucepan for melting chocolate

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Layers

1. Break the digestive biscuits into smaller pieces (about 1-2 inch size) and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and milk. Stir well until smooth and combined.
3. Gently fold the broken biscuits into the chocolate mixture until they are evenly coated. Be careful not to crush the biscuits too much to keep their crunchy texture.

Step 2: Prepare the Cream Filling

1. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until it forms stiff peaks.
2. If you’re using mascarpone or cream cheese, fold it into the whipped cream gently to add extra richness and smoothness to the filling.

Step 3: Layer the Cake

1. Take your prepared cake pan and layer the bottom with half of the chocolate-coated biscuits, pressing them gently to ensure they are evenly spread.
2. Spread half of the cream filling over the biscuits, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula.
3. Add another layer of the remaining chocolate-coated biscuits and top with the rest of the cream filling. Smooth it out to cover all the biscuits.
4. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2-3 hours or overnight to let the flavors meld together and the cake to set.

Step 4: Prepare the Chocolate Topping

1. In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
2. Pour the melted chocolate over the top of the cake, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
3. Let the cake chill in the fridge for another 30 minutes to allow the chocolate topping to set properly.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

1. Once the chocolate topping has set, remove the cake from the pan and slice it into squares or rectangles.
2. Serve chilled and enjoy the layers of chocolatey goodness, creamy filling, and crunchy biscuit texture.
