No Bake Chocolate Cake image

A very popular English cake which is like making your own chocolate bar. It contains only four ingredients; melted chocolate and butter, toasted nuts, and biscuits. There is no baking involved. All you do is mix the ingredients together in a bowl, press it into a tart or cake pan, and leave it to chill in the refrigerator. You have to try it. It's addictive!

Time 30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (cut into small pieces)
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
4 ounces graham crackers or 4 ounces butter cookies
1 1/4 cups pecans (toasted and chopped) or 1 1/4 cups macadamia nuts (toasted and chopped)

Steps:

  • If using hazelnuts: Preheat the oven to 350 degree F (177 degree C) and place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes or until fragrant and the skins begin to flake. Remove from oven and place a dish towel over the nuts. Let the nuts sit for a few minutes and then rub the nuts in the towel briskly to remove the skins. Let cool and then chop coarsely.
  • If using almonds, walnuts, pecans, and/or macadamia nuts: In a 350 degree F oven bake the nuts for about 8 - 10 minutes or until lightly brown and fragrant. Let cool then chop coarsely.
  • Then in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the butter and chocolate.
  • Meanwhile break the digestive cookies into small pieces (about 1/2 inch).
  • Once the butter and chocolate are melted, remove from heat and stir in the digestive cookies, along with their crumbs, and the chopped nuts.
  • Spread this mixture into a lightly buttered 8 inch tart or cake pan, cover, and refrigerate for several hours or until set. Cut or break into slices. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
