Also known as Kalter Hund or Kalte Schnauze this is a classic German no-bake cake that's also prepared in Denmark and the Netherlands.
Ingredients:
1 egg
180g sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
60g cocoa powder
160g coconut oil (coconut butter)
60ml rum
35 square butter cookies
slivered almonds, to decorate
Method:
Cream together the eggs, sugar and vanilla extract until pale and foamy. Meanwhile, melt the coconut oil in a pan and set aside to cool a little before using.
When the coconut oil has cooled add the egg mix along with the cocoa powder and stir well to combine. Take a loaf tin and line with greaseproof (wax) paper. Add a single layer of the biscuits to the base then add a layer of the cocoa cream. Now add another layer of biscuits, followed by the cocoa cream. Continue layering in this fashion until all the ingredients have gone (finishing with a layer of the cocoa cream).
Transfer to a refrigerator and chill over night, until completely set. The following day decorate as desired then cut into thin slices and serve.
