Recipe Card
ingredients
- 1 ready made chocolate pound cake (10oz or 300g)
- 6 mars bars or milky way bars (1.8 oz each)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 can table cream (6oz-8oz)
- 1 warm milk
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- Handful chopped chocolate candy for topping (kit kat, snickers, reeses, anything)
Method
Step 1
Slice the thawed pound cake (shouldn't take long to thaw at all on the kitchen counter) into 1/2inch thick slices, and place the slices in one layer of a pyrex serving dish. You can use anything from a 9×7 inch pan, to an 8×8 inch pan, a round pan, it will all be fine. Fill in any gaps in the cake layer with smaller cake slices.
Step 2
Mix together the warm milk and cocoa powder, and spoon the chocolate milk over the cake slices evenly until each slice has been coated with a drizzle of milk. You may have some of the milk mixture left over.
Step 3
Make the chocolate cream by melting the chocolate bars with the heavy cream, either in a double boiler or carefully in the microwave. Mix until smooth and combined, then add nestle table cream and mix until combined.
Step 4
Pour chocolate cream evenly over the top of the cake slices, and decorate with chopped up chocolate of choice. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight- this is even better the next day!
