I prepared this cake for Valentine's Day, although I don't celebrate, it somehow became a tradition for me to make a heart shaped cake every year for St.Trifun and St.Valentine. I'm not a big fan of unbaked pudding cakes, but I did have several packs of instant pudding at home and a bunch of open biscuits, wafers, jaffa cookies and I decided to use them and make a cake. After this cake, I changed my mind about unbaked pudding cakes. The cake was really great, delicious, creamy, and the jaffa cookies further enriched and enhanced the taste.
Ingredients:
- 2 x 40 g packs of chocolate powder pudding (check the end of the recipe for example)
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 850 ml of milk (3,5 cups)
- 100 g butter (3.5 oz)
- 100 g of dark chocolate
- 150 g of chopped jaffa cakes (5,3 oz)
- 150 g chopped petit buere biscuits
- 10 pieces of chopped wafers
- 50 g crushed chocolate with rice (1.7 oz)
- other chocolates if desired
Glaze
- 150 g of chocolate (5.3 oz)
- 150 ml of milk (1/2 cup)
- 1 tablespoon starch
- chocolate whipped cream for decoration
Preparation:
- First, the pudding is prepared according to the instructions on the bag, except we use a little less milk than required. Before the pudding is ready, add the chocolate and butter and mix well until they melt. You can also use a mixer. Keep in mind to use non stick pot when preparing pudding since milk can easily burn and destroy everything.
- Then, in a deeper bowl, mix the dry ingredients, chopped biscuits, jaffa cakes, wafers and add the hot pudding.
- Mix slowly with a spoon and pour this mixture into the cake tin about 20 cm diameter (I lined it with baking paper).
- Allow to cool and harden nicely in a fridge.
- Once cool, make the glaze. Dissolve the starch in 50 ml milk. Slowly melt the chocolate into the remaining milk in a saucepan and then add the dissolved starch. The mixture will start to thicken. When it starts to thicken, immediately pour over the cake. Flatten and allow to cool again.
- Decorate as desired with chocolate whipped cream.
- It is best to serve it the next day.
