Ingredients
• 250g Butter
• 300ml Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 200g Chopped Chocolate Couverture (Available Here)
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• 2 tbsp Cocoa Powder (Available Here)
• 450g Papadopoulos Cookies(Available Here)
• 60g Brandy
• 80g Chopped Walnuts
• Pinch of Salt
Things You’ll Need
• Medium Sauce Pan
• Whisk
• Parchment Paper
• Plastic Food Wrap
• Knife
• Cutting Board
1. Gently break up cookies with your hands being careful not to break them up too small, you want those bigger pieces to make up the mosaic pattern when you slice into your kormo.
2. Add brandy and mix together and set aside.
3. In a medium saucepan over low heat add butter, cocoa powder, condensed milk and vanilla and mix continuously until it begins to bubble.
4. Remove chocolate butter mixture from heat and add chopped chocolate couverture and let it rest for 20 seconds.
5. Begin whisking until the chocolate sauce thickens
6. Add a pinch of salt to the biscuit mixture (we added a few pinches), add chopped walnuts and mix together.
7. Pour the chocolate sauce over biscuits and mix. Be careful as the chocolate sauce will still be hot!
8. Lay a large piece of parchment paper on the counter and pour your kormo mixture onto the parchment paper and slowly roll into a log.
9. Twist the ends of the parchment paper so your mixture cannot come out the ends.
10. Tightly cover the entire log in plastic wrap and then continue to twist and squeeze the ends so that your log is nice and firm. This will give you that nice round uniform shape.
11. Refrigerate over night.
12. The next day remove plastic wrap and slice. We leave the paper on when slicing and remove before serving.
13. Serve with your favourite ice cream or Serano gelato!
Enjoy!!!
