INGREDIENTS
400 ml of condensed milk
180 g of unsalted butter
330 g of Lithuanian “Gaidelis” biscuits (or any other biscuit of your choice)
100 g of dark chocolate
METHOD
1. Biscuit Preparation: Begin by placing the Lithuanian “Gaidelis” biscuits (or your chosen biscuits) in a large bowl. Gently crumble them, ensuring that some slightly larger pieces remain for added texture and character in the cake.
2. Melting the Chocolate and Butter: In a pot over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate together. Stir continuously until completely melted and well combined. Once melted, turn off the heat, and get ready to add the star ingredient.
3. Condensed Milk Marvel: Add the creamy condensed milk to the pot with the butter-chocolate mixture. Mix everything thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and velvety, ensuring that the ingredients are well-incorporated.
4. Combining the Biscuit and Chocolate Mixture: Add the crumbled biscuits to the pot and mix everything really well, making sure every biscuit crumb is coated with the luscious chocolate-condensed milk mixture. The combination of flavours and textures is what makes this cake truly special.
5. Preparing the Cake: Pour the biscuit and chocolate mixture into a suitable cake form, ensuring that it is spread out evenly. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to smoothen the surface, creating a uniform layer of goodness.
6. Chilling Time: Place the cake form into the refrigerator and let it set overnight, or for at least 4 hours. This chilling time will allow the cake to firm up and ensure the perfect consistency for slicing and serving.
