[Updated 30/03/2025]

A no-bake, rich chocolate biscuit dessert that’s a Greek summertime favorite! Easy to make with just a few ingredients, it's a nostalgic treat for kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

• 2 boxes of petit-beurre biscuits
• 250g butter, softened
• 300g powdered sugar
• 2 eggs
• 3 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp brandy
• 250ml milk

Instructions

1. Prepare the Biscuits: Break the biscuits into small 1x1cm pieces. Pour the milk gradually, mixing gently to moisten them evenly.

2. Make the Chocolate Mixture: Using a mixer, beat the butter with the sugar until creamy. Add the eggs, cocoa powder, brandy, and vanilla, mixing until smooth.

3. Combine & Shape:

   • Fold the soaked biscuits into the chocolate mixture using a spatula.
   • Line a freezer-safe dish with a lid with baking paper or just use a silicone mold (like here). Pour the mixture inside, smooth the top, and cover.

4. Freeze & Serve:

   • Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
   • Before serving, let it sit for 5 minutes, then slice.

Tips & Variations

• Indulgent Twist: Melt dark chocolate and drizzle over the top before serving.
• Shape Variations: Traditionally made as a roll, but can be set in molds for different presentations.
• Storage: Keep in the freezer for up to 1 month.
