A Chocoholic’s Forays into Chocolate World

Make your own easy non-bake chocolate cake

After all the previous posts on diets and health, I think this time I will post a recipe which I read somewhere and modified to suit my taste. This recipe is for those who absolutely loved chocolates of all types. No chocolate haters allowed!

It is quite easy and does not require baking or any complicated stuff. You can even get your children to help out!

Ingredients

20 bars of chocolate-coated wafers, crushed

Chocolate sauce

A packet of 200g chocolate-covered peanuts (crushed) / raisins

250g dark cooking chocolate

250g chocolate bar (of any type, can be milk/ dark/ plain/ with nuts/ with raisins), chopped

Tub of rich chocolate ice cream

Instructions

1. Place half of the crushed wafers on the bottom of a pan. Crush it further and try to make it even.

2. Pour in the crushed nuts / raisins and again try to level the mixture.

3. Dribble some chocolate sauce over the mixture depending on your taste.

4. Add the chopped chocolate bar and level it out.

5.  In a heatproof pan, place the cooking chocolate over a boiling pan of water and melt it. Stir occasionally until it is melted through. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

6. Scoop out 3 – 4 ice cream and smoothen it over the chocolate wafers, nuts, raisins and bar mixture. Add more ice cream if you prefer.

7. Top up the ice cream with the crushed wafers.

8. Pour the slightly cooled melted chocolate over the mixture. Make sure you have everything covered and let it seep into the whole mixture.

9. Place in the fridge for it to set.

10. Once it is set, you are ready to serve the non-bake, crunchy, nutty and rich chocolate cake! If you are worried it may be too sweet, use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate for most of the ingredients.

This will satisfy all of your chocolate cravings in a jiffy! If you use dark chocolate (especially those with less sugar content), it will taste absolutely wonderful. However, if you are a milk chocolate type, the result will also be wonderful but be warned, it will definitely be very sweet! So, brace yourselves for that.

What are you waiting for? Go get started on it and tell me how it turned out! Do feel free to add or reduce the ingredients in accordance to your taste. There is no strict ruling to follow the recipe ingredients exactly. After all, this is a non-bake recipe using ready made chocolates so nothing will go wrong! It won’t be burnt or turn out flat or anything. It will still taste like chocolate.

  2. Hello Lola,

    Thanks for dropping by my site. I do have several more of such recipes so keep a look out for it here or you can check out my website – http://www.cocoa-chocolate.com
    I love to cook too and sometimes when I am too lazy to bake up a batch from scratch, it is quite fun to throw some ready-made stuff together and create your very own dessert from it!
