Instructions

  1. Melt the dark chocolate over a bain-marie or in the microwave in 30-second bursts, then set aside.
  2. In a bowl, work the soft butter with the icing sugar and cocoa until you get a smooth cream.
  3. Add the vanilla and milk, then whisk to a smooth, well-set cream.
  4. Spread a layer of cream on one chocolate biscuit, then top with a second biscuit to make a sandwich.
  5. Place the filled biscuits on a rack over a tray, then coat them with melted chocolate using a spoon or a brush.
  6. Let set in the fridge for 20 minutes until the chocolate is firm.
  7. For a neater finish, drag a fork through the chocolate while it is still soft to make lines before it fully sets.

Variations and tips

Mint version. Add 1 teaspoon of mint extract to the cream for a fresh flavour.

Using what's easy to find. Replace the Australian chocolate biscuits with cocoa biscuits such as Oreo or cocoa shortbread.
