  4. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 35-40 minutes.

  5. Repeat this with the rest of the biscuits.

  6. While the biscuit is baking, make a chocolate pudding (or ganache as a filling and decoration), you have two options.


Chocolate Pudding:

  1. From 500 ml of milk, separate 150 ml of milk and mix with the pudding.

  2. Put the remaining 350 ml of milk to be heated on a low, moderate heat, (Add 1-2 spoons of sugar if there is none in the pudding powder) soon as the milk is heated, (before boiling) add the pudding mixture and stir until it thickens. Remove from heat and leave to cool for about 15 minutes.

  3. Divide the mixture into two equal parts.


Ganache:

  1. If you have decided on ganache, the same applies.

  2. For the ganache, first heat it on a low-moderate heat and remove the boiling ores from the heat. Add chopped chocolate and mix until combined, cool for about 5-7 minutes. One part is for the filling and the other is for coating the cake.

  3. Spread the first biscuit with the chocolate pudding( or ganache) and flatten it, then fold it with the second biscuit.
