Ingredients:

• Cake Mixture:
  • 300g tea biscuits, crushed
  • 150g carrot, grated
  • 90ml milk
  • 25g powdered sugar
  • 150g walnuts, chopped
  • 3g cinnamon powder
• Topping:
  • 150g white chocolate, chopped
  • 50ml cream

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the crushed tea biscuits, grated carrot, powdered sugar, chopped walnuts, and cinnamon powder.
2. Gradually add milk to the biscuit mixture and mix until well combined. The mixture should be moist but not too wet.
3. Line a baking dish (choose your desired size) with parchment paper for easy removal of the cake.
4. Press the biscuit mixture evenly into the bottom of the dish, creating a compact and even layer. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to smooth out the surface.
5. For the ganache, heat the cream in a small saucepan until it’s warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and add the chopped white chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
6. Pour the white chocolate ganache over the biscuit base and spread evenly.
7. Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until it’s set and the ganache has hardened.
8. Before serving, slice the cake into squares or rectangles. If desired, you can add additional decorations like walnut pieces or carrot shavings on top of the ganache.
9. Serve chilled and enjoy this unique and delightful twist on classic carrot cake!

Note: Feel free to adjust the sweetness according to your preference. You can also add raisins or other dried fruits to the biscuit mixture for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy your no-bake adventure! 🥕🍰🍫
