Ingredients
- 200g plain biscuits (like Marie biscuits)
- 100g unsalted butter
- 100g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 250ml whole milk
Directions
- Prepare the ingredients:

- In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder and whole milk until well combined.
- Assemble the Kalter Hund:
- Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- Spread a thin layer of the melted butter on the bottom of the pan.
- Place a layer of crushed biscuits on top of the butter, pressing down gently to form an even layer.
- Pour a thin layer of the cocoa mixture over the biscuits, ensuring it covers them completely.
- Repeat the layering process until you reach the top of the pan, finishing with a layer of the cocoa mixture.
- Chill and serve:
- Place the Kalter Hund in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until firm.
- Once set, lift the Kalter Hund out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut into slices to serve.
