Ingredients:
  • Biscuits - 5-7 small pkts (account for broken ones)
  • Unsalted Butter - 2 tsp
  • Chocolate Powder - 2 tbsp
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder - 1 tsp
  • Instant Coffee Powder - 1.5 tsp (optional)
  • Cornstarch - 2 tbsp
  • Sugar - 2 tbsp
  • Milk - 2+1 cups
  • Chopped Walnuts - 1/4 cup
Directions:
  • Mix the Cornstarch with 1/2 cup of milk (from the 2 cups).
  • In a heavy-bottomed pan on low flame, add in the balance of the 2 cups of Milk.
  • Add in the Chocolate Powder, Cocoa Powder, Sugar and Butter.
  • Bring the Milk to a boil.
  • Add in Instant Coffee Powder and allow it to mix in well.
  • Add in the diluted Cornstarch.
  • Stir constantly, once the mixture starts thickening, take it off the flame.
  • Keep stirring to make sure it is a smooth with no major lumps. Use a whisk or a hand blender if needed.
  • Set aside and allow it to cool down to room temperature.
  • Now for the assembly of the cake, open the packets of biscuits and take out the broken ones.
  • Take the biscuit and give it a quick dip in the Milk (1 cup) and start layering on the platter.
  • Lay out the 1st layer of biscuit and then spread some syrup/sauce over it.
  • Alternate with a layer of Biscuits and Sauce…till you reach a desired height.
  • Cover the top most layer with the balance of the Syrup and some on the sides.
  • Sprinkle with chopped Walnuts and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  • Slice like you would for a cake and serve.
  • Serves 8.
Tips:
  • Buy a few extra biscuit packets…they taste yummy and you will end up eating a lot more than you think.
  • We have tried a lot of different kinds of biscuits…Parle G workout best. They are available at any Indian Grocery store.
  • The moment you see the sauce thicken, take it off the flame and keep stirring.
  • Have patience and let the syrup get to room temperature…otherwise the biscuits will end up being soggy.
  • If you like thicker syrup, add another 1/2 tbsp of Cornstarch.
  • The layering needs some careful handiwork…do it slowly and don’t be in a rush.
  • You can sprinkle the top with coconut powder, sprinkles, assorted dry fruits and/or chocolate syrup.
