Ingredients
- couverture chocolate - 170g
- margarine - 200g
- almond drink - 120g (can substitute with soy or oat milk)
- powdered sugar - 30g
- cocoa - 20g
- vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon (can substitute with vanillin)
- salt - watch the video to see (a pinch)
- digestive type cookies - 500g (fasting/vegan)
- walnuts - 80g
- powdered sugar - watch the video to see (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate Mixture: In a saucepan, melt the margarine. Add the almond drink (or any milk of your choice), powdered sugar, cocoa, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until everything is homogenized and the cocoa is fully dissolved.
- Add Chocolate and Nuts: Turn off the heat and add the couverture chocolate to the saucepan, allowing it to melt into the mixture. Once slightly cooled, add the walnuts.
- Combine with Cookies: Break the digestive cookies into smaller pieces and add them to the chocolate mixture. Mix well to ensure all pieces are coated.
- Form the Trunk: Lay out a piece of parchment paper and transfer the mixture onto it. Shape the mixture into a log, then wrap tightly with the parchment paper. Secure further by wrapping in cling film.
- Chill: Refrigerate the chocolate trunk for 3-4 hours until it is firm.
- Serve: Once set, remove the wrapping, slice the trunk into pieces, and serve. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
