Recipe for a Delicious No-Bake Chocolate Cake:

Ingredients:

- 7 oz of cocoa or butter cookies
- 1 cup of milk
- 3.5 oz of butter
- 3.5 oz of dark chocolate (min. 70% cocoa)
- 5 tablespoons of cocoa
- 3.5 oz of sugar
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla sugar
- 3.5 oz of 30% cream

Preparation:

1. Prepare the cream: In a pot, combine milk, sugar, vanilla sugar, and cocoa. Warm over low heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved and you have a smooth mixture. Remove from heat and blend in the butter until fully melted. Let it cool.

2. Prepare the cake base: Line your mold's bottom with cookies.

3. Combine the chocolate mixture: Once the cocoa mix has cooled, incorporate the chopped chocolate. Stir well until the chocolate has fully melted and the mixture is even.

4. Assemble the cake: Pour half of the chocolate blend over the cookie layer. Add another layer of cookies and top with the rest of the chocolate mix. Garnish the cake with crumbled cookies.

5. Chill: Refrigerate the cake for at least 3 hours, though leaving it overnight yields the best results.

Tips:

- Enhance the chocolate mixture with a teaspoon of vanilla or rum extract for added flavour.

- Consider topping the cake with fresh fruits like raspberries or strawberries for a refreshing twist.
- This cake keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This no-bake chocolate cake is ideal for those who are short on time or prefer not to engage in lengthy baking. In just a few simple steps, you can present a delectable and eye-catching dessert that will surely win over your guests!
