Ingredients
400 g tea biscuits or digestive biscuits
200 g dark chocolate
120 g unsalted butter
100 ml milk
80 g sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
150 g roasted peanuts or almonds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Coating
150 g crushed biscuits or cookie crumbs
Optional: shredded coconut or chopped nuts
Equipment Needed
Large mixing bowl
Saucepan
Spatula
Plastic wrap
Refrigerator
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Biscuits
Break the biscuits into small and medium-sized chunks. Do not crush them completely, as the pieces create the beautiful mosaic effect when sliced.
Step 2: Make the Chocolate Mixture
In a saucepan over low heat, combine the butter, milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and dark chocolate.
Stir continuously until everything melts into a smooth mixture. Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract.
Step 3: Mix Everything Together
Place the biscuit pieces and nuts in a large bowl.
Pour the chocolate mixture over them and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Step 4: Shape the Log
Transfer the mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap.
Roll and shape it into a tight log, pressing firmly to remove air pockets.
Wrap securely and refrigerate for about 1 hour until slightly firm.
Step 5: Add the Coating
Unwrap the log and roll it in the crushed biscuit crumbs until completely covered.
Wrap again and refrigerate for at least 3 more hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 6: Slice and Serve
Remove from the refrigerator and let stand for 5 minutes.
Slice into rounds and serve chilled.
Tips for Success
Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
Add hazelnuts, walnuts, or pistachios for variety.
Chill overnight for cleaner slices.
Press the mixture firmly while shaping to prevent crumbling.
