Easy Chocolate Dessert

  1. MELT THE CHOCOLATE
    Line 1kg loaf tin with cling film. Melt the chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water, then add the butter and stir until smooth. Remove from the heat and let it cool. Or microwave for 2 mins on high , then stir in the butter until smooth.
  2. WHIP THE CREAM
    Whisk the whipping cream until thick. Gradually stir into the cooled chocolate.
  3. LAYER IN THE TIN
    Dip a few of the biscuits in the sherry then lay them in the tin, top with a layer of chocolate and then repeat the layers finishing with a layer of biscuits on top. Dip the biscuits in the sherry as you use them so they dont get too wet and disintegrate. Cover the tin with foil. place a weight on top and put in the fridge and leave for at least 4 hours or overnight.
