- Preparation: 390 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (135 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: alcohol, dairy, gluten, honey
Ingredients
- 12 g Sugar
- 2.7 g Cocoa powder
- 4 g Cornflour
- 0.1 g Salt
- 60 g Whole milk
- 6.7 g Plain (semisweet) chocolate, chopped
- 0.7 g Vanilla extract
- 27 g Graham crackers
- 20 g Double or whipping cream
- 1.7 g Icing sugar
Method
- Makes one 23 x 33 cm cake, cut into 15 pieces; the amounts are for one piece, so multiply every ingredient by 15 for the whole cake.
- For the pudding, whisk the sugar, cocoa, cornflour and salt together in a saucepan, then gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Bring to the boil over a medium heat, whisking constantly, and let it bubble gently for 1-2 minutes, until thick. Off the heat, stir in the chocolate until it melts, then the vanilla. Leave to cool for 10 minutes, stirring now and then.
- Spread a thin layer of the pudding over the bottom of a 23 x 33 cm dish and cover it with a layer of graham crackers, breaking some to fill the gaps. Repeat twice more, so there are three layers of crackers, and finish with the rest of the pudding.
- Press cling film onto the surface and chill for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until the crackers have softened into cake.
- Shortly before serving, whip the cream with the icing sugar to soft peaks and spread it over the top. Cut into 15 pieces. It keeps for 2 days in the fridge.
