How to Make No Cook Chocolate Mascarpone Cake

  1. Line a 4-cup loaf pan with cling film, leaving some overhang to lift the cake out later.
  2. Crush 150g of your favorite cookies (digestive biscuits recommended) into crumbs.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of orange liqueur (or orange juice) to the cookie crumbs and mix well, allowing them to soak for 5 minutes.
  4. Melt 200g of dark chocolate (70% cacao recommended) in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (bain-marie), stirring frequently until smooth.
  5. Remove from heat and let the melted chocolate cool slightly.
  6. In a separate bowl, gently fold the cooled melted chocolate into 250g of mascarpone cheese until well combined. Then, gently fold in the soaked cookie crumbs until just incorporated.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  9. Once chilled, lift the cake out of the pan using the cling film overhang. Slice and serve with lemon sauce, whipped cream, or enjoy as is!
