Ingredients
-
Rich tea biscuits- 1 x 300g packet
Single cream light - 250ml
Chocolate - 250g to 300g (dark, milk or white)
Condensed milk - 250ml
Evaporated milk light- 100ml
Frozen or canned cherries - around 200g
Optional - 100ml cherry syrup (if the cherries are canned use that syrup) or skimmed milk.
Optional - Vanilla or rum flavouring
Tips
* You can replace the cherries with strawberries, raspberries or blackberries.
*Try to use light single cream and light evaporated milk along with dark chocolate to keep the fat content as low as possible for such creamy and chocolatey dessert.
*Use a square or rectangular tray not higher than 2 inches so you can control the portion sizes better.
Directions
1. All biscuits need to be broken to pieces (slightly bigger than crumbles) and placed in a bowl.
2. Next the chocolate should be melted using the bain-marie method. When chocolate starts melting gently whisk in the light single cream, followed by the condensed milk and lastly the light evaporated milk. Here is the time to add rum or vanilla flavouring if desired.
3. Line a 10x10x2 inch tray with cling film that covers generously the tray's edges.
4. Start adding half of the crushed biscuits in the tray and arrange them as flat as possible.
5. Arrange half of the cherries on top of the biscuit layer. If you want the biscuit layer to be moist then sprinkle it with some of the syrup from the canned cherries or skimmed milk.
6. Pour half the chocolate mixture carefully over the biscuits trying to cover all the surface.
7. Repeat the process with the leftover biscuits, cherries and chocolate.
8.Let it cool at room temperature for about 20 minutes then cover it with cling film or a sheet of aluminium foil and secure the cover in place with the edges of the cling film sheet underlying the composition.
9. Pop it in the fridge for at least 6 hours or best overnight.
To serve , flip over on a flat surface like a chopping board or cake plate. and carefully cut off the cling film. If you've chosen a square tray, cut in 16 squares and serve with fresh berries or whipped cream.
