Chocolate and biscuit blocks
Biscuits
This easy dessert is a reinterpretation of something my greek mother makes for us which she calls a log but others call it a mosaiko or even a chocolate salami ! I call mine blocks because this is what they resemble, not only in appearance but also in weight and density (a bit like cobblestones too). My mother’s version uses a combination of butter and milk and cocoa powder while mine is a simplified and more hearty version. You’ll notice in the pictures that I attempted different variations using white chocolate as well as milk chocolate and different types of cookies or biscuits ! Because of the differences in fat content of the different types of chocolate and differences in the crispiness of different types of cookies, my recommendation is that you stick to the dark chocolate and harder crispier biscuits and not softer cookies or cookies that crumble too easily (biscuit means baked twice, which is why they are harder and snap). And also, the white and milk chocolate versions never firm up sufficiently to be unmoulded but I’ll continue experimenting and come up with new recipes for those soon ! Enjoy... :)
