Chocolate Biscuit CakeChocolate  Biscuit Cake
A superbly rich and different chocolate cake that is lower in fat and does not need to be baked. A shockingly good recipe!! Serving 12, this recipe is from Ruth Milstein, author of recipe book 'Cooking with Love: Ventures into the New Israeli Cuisine.'

Ingredients:
Square Pyrex pan 8x8x2 inches
4 ounces dark chocolate
4 ounces butter
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons milk
4 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs, separated
2  packages tea biscuit, chocolate flavor
1/2 pint heavy cream
2/3 cup water
1/3 cup sherry wine
 

Method:
In a double boiler fill the bottom with water and the top with the chocolate, butter, cocoa powder the milk and 2 tablespoons of sugar.
On a low heat melt the ingredients while stirring occasionally. Let it cool and transfer to a large bowl. Gently blend in the 2 egg yolks and set aside.
Beat the 2 egg whites until stiff along with 1 tablespoon of sugar and blend with the chocolate mixture.
Whip up the heavy cream with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and blend with the chocolate mixture.
In a small bowl mix the water and the sherry wine. Dip 12 biscuits into the sherry and water mixture and quickly lay them on the bottom of the pan.
Pour 1/3 of the chocolate cream on top of the biscuits.
Again, dip 12 biscuits into the sherry mixture and lay them on top of the chocolate cream. Pour another 1/3 of the chocolate cream over the top.
Dip the remaining biscuits into the sherry mixture and lay them on top of the chocolate cream. Pour the rest of the cream over the last row of biscuits.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Our Mission: "Big Blend Magazine is a company based on the belief that education is the most formidable weapon that can be waged against fear, ignorance and prejudice. It is our belief that education starts at home and branches outward. Education leads to travel, and travel leads to understanding, tolerance, and appreciation of cultures and customs different to our own, and ultimately to world peace. Our company is further based on the principle that networking, communication, and helping others to promote and market themselves leads to financial stability; thus paving the way to better education, travel, and the spirit of giving back to the community."
