This is the first dish Fatee made in India when she came for Nikah. It was a hit then and it is a hit still :-) I am sure you guys will agree with me that it is one of the simplest and different cake you will ever eat.Ingredients:
* Cocoa powder 4 tbsp
* Eggs 3
* Butter 100 gms (4 tbsp)
* Caster sugar 1/2 cup (or as per taste)
* Instant Coffee powder 1 tsp
* Marie biscuits 1 packet (200gms)
* Vanilla extract 1/2 tsp
Procedure:
Beat eggs, cocoa powder, butter, caster sugar and coffee powder in a bowl.
Heat water in a pan and as soon as the steam starts to rise, put this bowl on the boiling water pan and keep beating untill the liquid turns into thick paste.
Make sure the bowl does not touch the steaming water.
Keep the sauce aside for a while till it returns to the room temperature. Add vanilla extract to the sauce.
Crush biscuits into medium size pieces.
Mix 3/4th of the chocolate sauce into the biscuits.
Roll them into a round thingee in a cling film so it looks like a thick rolling pin (belan).
Freeze it for a couple of hours and slice them.
Serve immediately pouring some of the remaining chocolate sauce and cream over them.

ReplyDeletethansk Amelie...

Hi Daagh/Fatee,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this recipe.
I tried ur recipe and it came out very delicious. The only thing I did wrong was that I made my sauce way too thick...at the end of stirring my sauce was like a paste.
My question is how do we know when to take it off the steam and the eggs r cooked? I wish to make it again and I really want to know is there a trick or something to indicate when the sauce is edible.
I used my sauce and made marie biscuit sandwiches.
Take care and keep posting plz.

Dear Ayesha
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words...
The secret for perfect consistency for the chocolate sauce is to heat the liquid on a low steam heat. i.e. as soon as the water starts steaming, reduce the heat and keep stirring, once you see that the liquid is thick enough to be poured into the biscuit pieces, take it off the heat.
All the best for the next attempt :-)

ReplyDeletesorry for all the confusion. by rolling i meant make it like a roll. So what you do is wrap the mixture in cling film like you wrap a sweet and make it a roll.

ReplyDeleteHow do you put the bowl on the boiling water? do u hold it there without it touching the water?
ReplyDeleteMarryam
hi there
ReplyDeleteuse a smaller bowl to boil water so that your chocolate bowl sits on it and is heated by the steam and such that there is no contact with water.
