Chocolate cake with amaretti cookies
Ingredients
- Amaretti 10 oz
- Liquid dark chocolate 5 oz
- Cream 15 fl oz
- Brandy 4 tablespoons
- Cider 3 tablespoons
- Cocoa Powder to taste
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Break the chocolate into pieces, place it in a bowl, pour in the cream, and set the bowl over a pot of gently simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir until the chocolate melts. Then remove the bowl from the heat and whisk with an electric mixer until a cold creamy mixture forms.
Step 2
Mix the brandy with the cider and pour it into a shallow dish. Dip the cookies one by one, first in the brandy, then in the chocolate cream, and layer the cookies at the bottom of a pudding mold or deep glass bowl.
Step 3
Spread a layer of chocolate cream over the cookies and repeat the process until there are 4 layers. Place a small plate that fits inside the mold on top and weigh it down with a 1 kg weight. Leave it in the refrigerator overnight.
Step 4
Before serving, dip the mold in hot water for 3 seconds and invert the cake onto a plate. Return it to the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up on the outside and dust with cocoa powder.
