Recipe:
Biscuit Base:
- 2 packets of digestive biscuits (crushed)
- 45 grams butter (melted)
Chocolate Custard Layer:
- 1 liter milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 45 grams butter
- 100 grams dark chocolate
White Cream Layer:
- 1 packet whipped cream powder
- 1 cup cold milk
- 100 ml cream
- 70 grams white chocolate
Instructions:
- Prepare the Biscuit Base:
- Crush the biscuits into a fine crumb and mix with melted butter.
- Spread the mixture evenly in a baking dish, pressing it down firmly with the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass. Ensure the base is packed tightly to prevent crumbling.
- Make the Chocolate Custard:
- In a pot, combine the sugar, flour, cornstarch, and cocoa powder. Gradually add the milk while whisking to avoid lumps.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency.
- Once thickened, remove from heat and add the butter and dark chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Pour the custard over the biscuit base, spreading it evenly. Let it cool, then refrigerate to set.
- Prepare the White Cream:
- Heat the cream until just below boiling, then remove from heat and add the chopped white chocolate. Stir until melted and smooth. Refrigerate for 30-40 minutes to cool.
- Whip the cold milk and whipped cream powder until light and fluffy. Once the ganache has cooled, fold it into the whipped cream mixture, being careful not to deflate it.
- Spread the cream over the chilled chocolate layer.
- Chill and Roll:
- Once the dessert has chilled for at least 3-4 hours (or overnight for best results), cut into desired portions.
- Roll each portion using parchment paper, shaping it into tight rolls for serving.
Enjoy!
