How to Make Chocolate Fridge Cake

  1. Crush 200g digestive biscuits into small crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the crushed biscuits, 50g chopped walnuts, 50g chopped pecans, and 100g dried cherries. Mix well.
  3. In a small saucepan over very low heat, melt 200g milk chocolate, 100g dark chocolate, and 100g unsalted butter, stirring occasionally until smooth and combined.
  4. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the bowl with the biscuit mixture. Stir gently until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Line a loaf pan (approximately 9x5 inches) with plastic wrap, leaving plenty of overhang on the sides.
  6. Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Use the back of a spoon to firmly pack the mixture down.
  7. Fold the overhanging plastic wrap over the top of the cake and press firmly to compact the mixture.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cake to set completely.
  9. Once set, remove the cake from the loaf pan, remove the plastic wrap, and slice into pieces.
  10. Dust with cocoa powder before serving for an extra touch of elegance.
