Chocolate Biscuit Cake

Last night, Mary Katherine had me over to watch the Royal Wedding. She & Marshall provided the English-themed dinner of pot roast, carrots, roasted potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, & gravy. I provided the dessert. I had two criteria: it had to have chocolate & it had to be fast. This fit the bill: chocolate biscuit cake.

The ingredients.

Melt 1 1/2 sticks (12 tbsp) butter in saucepan over low heat.

Add chocolate to butter & continue to melt over low heat.

Place biscuits in a Ziploc bag & break into large pieces.

Add cream to butter/chocolate mixture.

Add broken biscuits to butter/chocolate mixture.

Stir to combine.

Pour into prepared 9-inch springform pan. Cover & refrigerate until set.

Release cake from pan, invert onto serving plate.

Remove parchment paper, decorate with sifted powdered sugar. Serve.
