Tinginys / Non-baked Chocolate Biscuit cake

  When I was younger I always thought that this cake originally came from Lithuania, but when I moved to London I found out that that is definitely not true. Majority of people know this cake as chocolate salami, although i never had it in that shape, so for me it will always be just my moms chocolate cake.

Of course, you can make it into a salami. Even I do not always make it in a round tin as you can see here:

Until now, I am not sure where the recipe came from but my mom, and my grandmother have been using the same recipe for years, and today I will share it with you.

If you are afraid that it will be too sweet then do not worry, just follow the directions below and use right ingredients, it is the key to a perfect, not too sweet cake.

1. Use butter flavoured biscuits. Depending on where you live, it can be quite hard to find the perfect ones but you can not give up. I buy my biscuits in one of many Lithuanian shops in London, they look like this:

 Surely you can find biscuits like this in any Russian, Romanian, Polish or Turkish shops. If not, you can use Digestive biscuits (Vanilla flavour) which you can find almost anywhere. 

2. Use sweetened condensed milk and do not put any additional sugar.

3. Butter has to be unsalted and not less than 82%.

4. Use unsweetened cacao powder.

You will need:

• 720g butter biscuits

• 225g unsalted butter

• 410g  sweetened condensed milk

• 5 tbsp cacao powder

Directions:

1. Put the cookies in as bag and crush them. Do not use food processor as their mixture must be chunky.
2. ​​In a large bowl melt the butter, then slowly pour condensed milk mixing constantly. 
3. When butter and condensed milk are combined put the cacao powder and mix very well. 
4. Take the chocolate mixture off the heat, pour crushed biscuits and mix well.
5.  Line a loaf pan or cake pan with cling film, then pour the mixture and put it into fridge for a few hours or overnight. If you want, you can put the mixture into a plastic bag and shape it as salami
6. Enjoy with a cup of coffee :)
