Homemade Chocolate Lazy Cake, Straight from the Freezer

A heat wave that hit Riyadh city in the past few days....after months of constant cold -actually freezing- weather.

And since the winter season also ended in Lebanon (Who knew that this year the weather would be that weird? ), So nothing is better than starting the spring/summer season but having this lazy cake, served straight from the freezer.

Well, I honestly don't know why lazy cakes are cakes. They dont even contain eggs or flour, the two major ingredients to bake a cake. It is obviously a No Bake Cake!

So, I'd rather call my lazy cake as chocolate bars or biscuits. Homemade Kitkat might also be another name.

The taste is inspired from my favorite chocolate bar: Lindt Orange chocolate.

Here is a quick recipe:



Number of Servings : 2 from the red tray shown below.

Kitchen tools:

1. Spatula
2. Manual or automatic Mixer
3. Grater
4. Cling Film

Ingredients:

• 1 container of sweetened condensed milk  ( I used Nestle brand)
• 3 biscuits boxes (any brand will do), 175 g each, crushed into small pieces
• 50 g unsalted butter ( I used Al Marai Brand), softened to room temperature
• You can add few tablespoons of sugar per your taste.
• 100 g Melted cooking chocolate (or a bar of chocolate and melt it)
• For extra flavor: add some orange and lemon peel to have an orangy zest!

Steps:
Very easy/quick to prepare.

1. Just crush the biscuits, then add the condensed milk. 
2. Melt the chocolate with the butter on a Bain Marie and not directly over heat.

3. Peel some lemon or/and lemon Pour the saucy chocolate/butter over the biscuits/milk mix , with the vanilla, and lemon zest.

4. Add a cling film on the tray and spread the whole mix over the tray.

5. Place the tray in freezer.
