Ingredients:
1 ½ cups of chocolate cookies (like Oreos or any chocolate biscuit of your choice)
½ cup melted butter
½ cup of powdered sugar
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup of heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Optional: Chocolate chips or sprinkles for garnish
Instructions:
Crush the Cookies: Start by placing the chocolate cookies in a large bowl or food processor. Crush them into fine crumbs. You can use a rolling pin or the pulse function on a food processor to make this step easier.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: Add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt to the crushed cookies. Stir everything together until evenly mixed.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until smooth and well combined.
Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir everything together until the mixture starts to come together into a thick dough-like consistency.
Form the Cake: Transfer the mixture to a cake tin or pie dish. Use a spoon or your hands to press the mixture down firmly, creating an even layer at the bottom of the pan.
Chill the Cake: Place the cake in the fridge for at least 1 hour to allow it to set. For quicker results, you can place it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes.
Serve and Enjoy: Once set, cut the cake into slices, garnish with chocolate chips or sprinkles, and serve. It’s ready to enjoy!
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: This no-bake chocolate cake is perfect as a simple dessert after dinner or as a treat for special occasions. Serve it chilled for the best texture and taste.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. If you prefer, you can freeze the cake for longer storage. Just be sure to wrap it tightly to avoid freezer burn.
