Ingredients

- 400 g digestive biscuits
- 250 g dark chocolate
- 100 g unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp milk
- 100 g white chocolate

Step-by-step instructions
Follow these clear steps to recreate the exact chocolate biscuit cake from the video.
Step 1: Crush the biscuits
Break the digestive biscuits into small uneven pieces using your hands. Aim for a mix of chunks and crumbs so the cake keeps interesting texture after setting.
Step 2: Melt the chocolate base
Chop the dark chocolate and butter into pieces. Melt them together with the milk in short microwave bursts or over a double boiler until smooth and glossy.
Step 3: Mix biscuits and chocolate
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the broken biscuits. Stir gently with a spatula until every piece is evenly coated in thick chocolate.
Step 4: Press into the pan
Transfer the sticky mixture into a round springform pan. Press it down firmly with the back of a spoon to form an even compact layer.
Step 5: Pour the topping
Melt the remaining dark chocolate until pourable. Pour it over the pressed biscuit base and spread gently for a smooth shiny surface.
Step 6: Chill until firm
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least ninety minutes. The cake is ready when the top feels firm and the sides release cleanly.
Step 7: Slice and plate
Run a knife around the edge and release the springform. Cut into neat triangular slices and place one on a white plate for serving.
Step 8: Add the drizzle
Melt white and dark chocolate separately. Drizzle both over the plated slice in thin lines for the exact finish shown in the video.

Store leftover slices in an airtight container for up to five days. The chocolate top stays glossy and the biscuits remain soft.
Can I freeze the chocolate biscuit cake?
