Belgian Fridge Cake

Ingredients

  • 100g Dark Chocolate > 70%
  • 12.5g Vegan Butter; unsalted
  • 1 large egg
  • 20g Chopped apricots
  • 20g Raisins
  • 20g sour cherries
  • 20g Walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 20g Hazelnuts, roughly chopped
  • 20g Almonds, roughly chopped
  • 25g Brazil nuts, roughly chopped

Method

  • Melt the chocolate and butter in a bain marie (a bowl over water in a saucepan!) And then take off the heat to cool a little before the next stage with this.
  • Meanwhile break up the biscuits into random pieces … if some are crumbs and some are bigger, not a problem …. Just not too big or too powdery.  Add the fruit and nuts to the broken biscuits.
  • Whisk the eggs together and add them to the melted chocolate mixture mixing the eggs in so that they cook and make the chocolate mixture silk; the mixture is quite thick. 
  • Add the Chocolate mixture to the nutsand Fruit and mix until everything is thoroughly coated.
  • Put into a Chinese take away container,  that is lined with grease proof paper,  and Press down to compact it.
  • Leave in the fridge for at least 4 hours to set.  You can then cut into 6 pieces and eat/freeze/do whatever you want with it … but store it in the fridge if you aren’t freezing so it doesn’t become gooey.
