Versatile : The recipe is so versatile you can customize with your favorite nuts like almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts. You can garnish the cake with your favourite toppings like melted chocolates, chocolate sprinkles, chocolate chips or chocolate ganache.
Ingredients
Biscuits : Biscuits are the base of the recipe. I have used digestive biscuits which are less in sugar and have a neutral taste. If you want to have any flavour in your roll, then replace digestive biscuits with biscoff , chocolate cookies, almond biscuits. Digestive biscuits are easy to crush and provide the firm structure to the roll.
Sugar : Sugar is added for the sweetness and also to enhance the overall taste of the cake. Adjust the biscuit quantity according to the biscuits that you are using. You can even substitute with condensed milk, honey, agave, coconut sugar.
Dark chocolate bar : Chocolate is the main ingredient that helps to bind the roll together. Use chocolate which is high in cocoa ( 75 to 90 % ) . The quality of the chocolate impacts the overall taste. For best taste, use couverture chocolate.
Unsalted butter : Generally butter is one of the key ingredients in baking or in any dessert. Butter helps to bind the ingredients together once melted. It creates a soft, melt-in-mouth consistency once chilled and served.
Milk : Milk adds moisture to the mixture and ensures a not too dry or crumbly roll texture. Use a full fat milk for a rich and creamy texture. For a dairy free option, you can try oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk.
Cocoa powder : Cocoa powder intensifies the chocolate flavour and achieves a deep dark chocolate color to the roll. Try to use unsweetened cocoa powder.
Hacks
Crushing biscuits : Crush the biscuits roughly including smaller and bigger pieces. It helps to form a firm structure while rolling.
Mixing the ingredients : In a pan, first melt the butter, then add sugar, cocoa powder, dark chocolate pieces and cook until everything melted and combined smoothly. Then add crushed biscuits and turn off the stove.
Rolling : Spread a parchment paper, pour the prepared chocolate biscuit mixture. Similar to candy, roll this into a log shape. Ensure the sides are completely sealed. Refrigerate it for at least 5 hours or let it set overnight for best texture.
Slicing : Use a sharp knife to cut the cake. Clean or dip in hot water before slicing to achieve a neat smooth slice.

Expert Tips
- Make sure to roll it tightly to ensure a clean firm shape. ● The butter should be at room temperature before melting. This helps to create a smooth buttery chocolate.
- For a nutty and crunchy texture, you can add chopped nuts like almond, pistachios, cashews, and walnuts.
- If you don’t have parchment or want to do it in a simple way, just pour the mixture in a baking pan and set it in the refrigerator. Chill and cut into a cake piece.
- You can also dust the log with cocoa powder or roll into shredded coconut for a decorative and flavorful outer layer.
