No-bake Chocolate Biscuit Cake
A timeless no-bake cake made with rich cocoa, crunchy biscuits, and simple ingredients, set to perfection without baking. An easy, nostalgic dessert that's perfect for every occasion.
Ingredients
- 400 grams Digestive Biscuits trust me, it's actually really good when you use these
- 1 cup Walnuts Roasted and chopped
- ¾ cup Cane Sugar
- 7 tbsp Hershey Cocoa Powder can use any cocoa powder
- ¾ cup Water
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp Strong brewed coffee
For the Ganache
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 200 grams Dark chocolate I used Ghirardelli
Instructions
Now, let's mix and set the cake!
- Heat a pan, dry roast the walnuts in a low flame till it gives a nutty smell which is within 5 mins.
- Chop the walnuts into small pieces.
- The next step would be to butter the cake pan on all sides and keep it aside.
- In a pan, add the sugar and cocoa powder. Mix it well using a whisk.
- Gradually add water and stir well
- Place it over medium heat. Add butter (cut into pieces so it melts quickly) and vanilla extract.
- When the butter is melted, add trong brewed coffee to the mixture and keep mixing well for about 5 minutes. Keep it aside and let it cool a bit.
- Pour the chocolate syrup over the biscuits and mix well.
- Add most of the chopped walnuts (leave some to garnish on the cake) and mix it along with the biscuits and the syrup.
- Transfer the mixture into the buttered cake pan.
- Press down the biscuit mixture evenly and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Break the cooking chocolate (I use DARK chocolate ONLY) and keep it aside.
- Heat a pan, pour a cup of heavy whipping cream in it.
- Add the chocolate pieces.
- Stir until smooth.
- Looks smooth and silky.
- Pour ganache over the chocolate biscuit cake evenly. Remember to lick the leftover sticking to the pan :))
- Garnish with toasted chopped walnuts on top and refrigerate for 4 hours for it to set well.
- Of course, serve it with whipped cream and enjoy till the very last bite – sharing is optional 🙂
