Serves 8-10
225g (8oz) good-quality dark chocolate, chopped
2 eggs
1 dessertspoon caster sugar
225g (8oz) unsalted butter
2 tbsp raisins, soaked in boiling water
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
225g (8oz) plain biscuits, broken
25g (1oz) walnuts or toasted almonds, chopped
I dont add raisins or nuts and put in quite a few more Rich Tea biscuits.
LIne a 13 x 20cm (5 x 8in) loaf tin with non-PVC clingfilm.
Melt the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl placed over a bowl of hot, but not simmering water, or in a very cool oven.
Whisk the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy. Melt the butter and while it is still hot whisk it into the egg and sugar mixture. The mixture should thicken slightly. Next stir in the melted chocolate, drained raisins and vanilla extract and finally the broken biscuits.
Press into the prepared loaf tin. Sprinkle with the chopped nuts and allow to set in a cold place for a couple of hours or until firm enough to cut.
