  • Cooking: 5 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (88 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

  • 40 g Graham crackers
  • 15 g Butter, unsalted
  • 5 g Cocoa powder
  • 20 g Sweetened condensed milk
  • 8 g Walnuts

Method

  1. Crush the biscuits into small, pea-sized pieces (a mix of small chunks and crumbs works best) and mix with the chopped walnuts.
  2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then stir in the cocoa powder and condensed milk until smooth and glossy.
  3. Pour the warm chocolate mixture over the crushed biscuits and walnuts and stir until every piece is coated.
  4. Press the mixture into a small loaf-shaped block on a sheet of parchment or foil and roll or shape it into a log.
  5. Chill for at least 2 hours until firm, then slice and serve; this 'lazy cake' needs no baking at all.
