Fridge cakes are a hit nowadays because not everybody can bake (though I can, alhamdulillah!) and as the Mercury levels are getting up we all are getting hooked on foods that can keep us cool and can be prepared quickly as nobody would like to spend hours in the kitchen. And baking is just a big no! So, today when I was asked to make a chocolate cake I opted for this Chocolate Fridge Cake and didn't expect any appreciation because I knew I have taken a shortcut and it is going to disappoint all but to my surprise everyone loved this simple fridge cake and I had to prepare another batch because the first one was not enough! Lol
It's a simple recipe with layers of sweet and salty biscuits and chocolate ganache and it's frozen till firm and then sliced. You can serve this cake with fresh fruits and some whipped cream, if you want. I have used Parle's Crackjack Biscuits you can use any of the sweet and salty biscuits of your choice.
24 sweet and salty biscuits
100 gms dark chocolate
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
Method:
1. Pour cream in a sauce pan and microwave for 2 minutes (you heat on gas stove for about 3-4 minutes on medium to low flame.
2. Now finely chop the chocolate and mix in hot cream also add condensed milk and mix well with the help of rubber spatula. It should be thick mixture but of pouring consistency.
3. Take a 8 inch square box and arrange four biscuits side by side pour some prepared chocolate mixture wait for a minute so that the sauce thickens. Repeat till you get 6 layers of biscuits. Pour the remaining sauce on top and keep it in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
4. Check if it's hard, if not, leave it in the freezer till it is hard enough to cut with a knife.
5. Remove from the fridge and cut into one inch thick slices. Serve immediately.
