Rich chocolate, a hint of cocoa, and the unique touch of pistachios come together in a dessert that’s both delightful to the palate and easy on the chef.
Ingredients:
- Small cookies: 300g – This is the base of our no-bake cookie. It provides a familiar texture that contrasts well with the rich chocolate coating.
- Butter: 30g – Adding that rich creaminess and helping bind the ingredients together.
- Milk: 300 ml – Helps in achieving the right consistency for the mixture.
- Powdered sugar: 100g – Sweetens the mixture just enough without being overly saccharine.
- Cocoa: 15g – Deepens the chocolate flavor and gives our cookies a rich hue.
- Milk chocolate: 125g – Perfect for coating our cookies, adding another layer of chocolate goodness.
- Chopped pistachio: For garnish and an added touch of flavor and texture.
Instructions:
- Prepare the Mixture: Start by finely chopping the biscuits. To this, add the softened butter, powdered sugar, cocoa, and milk. Mix these ingredients well until you achieve a smooth paste-like consistency.
- Shape and Chill: Transfer this mixture onto a piece of cling film, shaping it into a cylindrical roll. Tightly wrap the roll and place it in the refrigerator. Allow it to chill and firm up for approximately 2 hours.
- Slice and Coat: Once the roll has set, remove it from the fridge. Using a sharp knife, cut it into roughly 2 cm thick slices.
- Chocolate Dip: Melt the milk chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Dip each cookie slice into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s well coated.
- Garnish: While the chocolate coating is still wet and glossy, sprinkle the crushed pistachios over the cookies. This not only adds a beautiful green contrast but also introduces a delightful crunch and nutty flavor.
- Set and Serve: Allow the chocolate to set. Once firm, these cookies are ready to be served and savored.
