Equipment

  • 2 Mixing bowls
  • Saucepan or microwave-safe bowl (for melting chocolate)
  • Whisk or spatula
  • Rolling Pin (or a clean bottle as an alternative)
  • Plastic wrap or parchment paper
  • Knife for slicing

Ingredients
  

  • 7 oz Dark chocolate 70% – 200g (7 oz)
  • 100 ml Heavy cream ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp
  • 1 tbsp Butter – 1 tbsp optional, for gloss
  • 1 cup Crushed plain biscuits digestive or graham
  • 2 tbsp Powdered sugar – 2 tbsp optional, for extra sweetness
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract – 1 tsp
  • 2 tbsp Cocoa powder – 2 tbsp for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Prep the Center
    Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor. Set aside in a bowl. Mix with powdered sugar for added sweetness, if desired.
  • Make the Ganache
    In a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, heat the heavy cream just to a simmer (avoid boiling).
    Add chopped dark chocolate and optional butter. Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until completely smooth and glossy. Stir in vanilla extract.
  • Assemble the Rolls
    Allow the ganache to cool slightly until thick but spreadable.
    Spread the ganache on plastic wrap or parchment paper into a 1 cm (½ inch) thick rectangle.
    Evenly sprinkle the crushed biscuit mixture over the ganache.
  • Roll it Up
    Use the wrap to roll the ganache into a log, pressing gently to form a tight roll.
    Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.
  • Slice and Serve
    Unwrap the log and slice into 10 even pieces.
    Dust with cocoa powder before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • Ganache Too Runny? Let it rest at room temperature or chill briefly until it firms up.
  • Texture Tip: Add chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips to the biscuit mixture for crunch.
  • Flavor Twists: Enhance with a splash of orange liqueur or peppermint extract for a unique touch.
  • Presentation: Roll the chilled log in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut for a decorative finish.
