- 28 oz 800g digestive biscuits, or any tea biscuits.*
- 1 cup hazelnuts toasted slightly chopped.
To make the chocolate syrup:
- 1 cup sugar.
- ½ cup cocoa powder.**
- 1 cup water.
- ⅔ cup butter.
Chocolate Glaze:
- 4 oz semi sweet chocolate bar chopped.
- 1 ½ tablespoons corn syrup.
- ½ cup heavy cream.
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
Make the syrup:
In a saucepan, stir together cocoa powder and sugar then add water and stir over medium heat until it boils.
Add butter and reduce heat, keep simmering for 5 more minutes.
Pour syrup over biscuit pieces and mix well, fold in chopped hazelnuts.
Press the biscuit mixture in a 9inch springform pan lined with parchment paper. Refregerate for 1 hour.
Make the glaze:
Place the chopped chocolate and corn syrup in a bowl and set aside.
In a sauce pan over medium heat, add heavy cream and sugar.
Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture is hot.
Pour over the chocolate and mix until smooth.
Pour glaze over the chocolate cake and refrigerate again for 4 hours and preferably over night.
Take it out of the pan. And decorate with some chocolate balls if desired.
- Any tea biscuit can work as well, like Marie.
- Use cocoa powder of your choice, I've used unsweetened dutch if you use sweetened then you need to reduce the amount of sugar used.
