- Ready In:
- 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 4
- Serves:
-
10
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (cut into small pieces)
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 4 4 ounces graham crackers or 4 ounces butter cookies
- 1 1⁄4 1 1/4 cups pecans (toasted and chopped) or 1 1/4 cups macadamia nuts (toasted and chopped)
directions
- If using hazelnuts: Preheat the oven to 350 degree F (177 degree C) and place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes or until fragrant and the skins begin to flake. Remove from oven and place a dish towel over the nuts. Let the nuts sit for a few minutes and then rub the nuts in the towel briskly to remove the skins. Let cool and then chop coarsely.
- If using almonds, walnuts, pecans, and/or macadamia nuts: In a 350 degree F oven bake the nuts for about 8 - 10 minutes or until lightly brown and fragrant. Let cool then chop coarsely.
- Then in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the butter and chocolate.
- Meanwhile break the digestive cookies into small pieces (about 1/2 inch).
- Once the butter and chocolate are melted, remove from heat and stir in the digestive cookies, along with their crumbs, and the chopped nuts.
- Spread this mixture into a lightly buttered 8 inch tart or cake pan, cover, and refrigerate for several hours or until set. Cut or break into slices. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

I would rate this recipe a 4 out of 5 stars because the cake is really good in all, but to me, it was really dry when I ate it. But you may think differently. But I made this dish for Mothers Day for my mom, and it was a great dish to add to the scenario. I was not a big fan but my mom was! Thanks Chocoholic!
