Step cooking
Chocolate glaze preparation
- Pour 150 grams of granulated sugar into a small saucepan or stewpan. Sift there through a sieve 40 g of cocoa powder. This is necessary so that the powder gets rid of lumps and solid particles. Mix the powder with sugar with a whisk.
- Pour 100 ml of milk and mix everything with a whisk until a homogeneous, dense mass is formed. During this time, granulated sugar should completely dissolve.
- We put the container with all the ingredients on a slow fire. Cook, stir constantly. Bring the liquid to a boil and cook for about 1 minute.
- We remove the stewpan with cocoa from the fire and immediately add 200 grams of soft butter to it. Mix thoroughly so that the butter completely melts and forms a homogeneous mass with cocoa. It is butter that should be used, not margarine. At the same time, you need to monitor the quality of this product, since the taste of the finished dessert depends on it. Set the mass aside.
Preparing the filling
- Shortbread cookies (350 g) are divided into two parts: larger and smaller. Similarly, you can use any other creamy cookie that will crumble well. Most of the shortbread cookies need to be crushed into small crumbs. This can be done using a rolling pin, pre-wrapping cookies in parchment paper. With a blender, you can quickly and easily grind cookies by placing them in a bowl.
- We break the smaller part of the cookie into small pieces with our hands.
- Walnuts (100 grams) are placed in a preheated pan, fry for several minutes. Thanks to roasting, the nuts will turn out to be more crispy and fragrant. For such a dessert, you can also use any other nuts: peanuts, cashews, almonds.
- After cooling the walnuts, grind them into small pieces using a rolling pin or a blender bowl.
Dessert making
- In a large and deep container, mix crumbs and pieces of shortbread cookies, fried and chopped walnuts.
- Pour in the same chocolate mass, mix thoroughly, forming a homogeneous and viscous mass.
- On the table we lay a sheet of cling film at least 40 cm wide in two layers. We spread half of the resulting chocolate mass on its edge, wrap it in a film, forming a thick and dense sausage. We seal the products around the edges, tie them with any cords or pieces of cling film.
- Repeat the same with the rest of the chocolate mass.
- Formed sausages are placed in the refrigerator for three hours. Finished products are cut into portioned pieces and served with tea or other hot drinks.
