Ingredients
100g stale bread
100g dry or soft biscuits
150g dark chocolate
150g butter
3 egg yolks
50g unsweetened cocoa powder
30g toasted hazelnuts
120g icing sugar
Method
Coarsely chop the dark chocolate, and melt it in the microwave at minimum power, or with a double boiler. Allow it to cool.
Meanwhile, beat softened butter and 80g of the icing sugar with a whisk until smooth and creamy. Continuing to beat, add 3 egg yolks, sifted cocoa, and melted, cooled chocolate.
Break the bread and biscuits into rubble, and lightly chop the hazelnuts. Stir them into the chocolate butter mixture.
Transfer the mixture onto a sheet of baking paper, and gently form the shape of a thick sausage.
Sprinkle the sausage with the remaining icing sugar, and roll it in the baking paper sheet. Using string, seal the ends.
Leave the roll to harden in the fridge for about 5 hours. Then, remove the baking paper and cut it into slices.
