Ingredients
- 100g walnuts
- 100g hazelnuts
- 450g plain biscuits
- 100g glace cherries
- 100g candied peel
- 400g condensed milk
- Some vermouth/brandy
- 150g Novi milk/dark chocolate, melted
- Milk/dark chocolate shavings [optional]
Directions
- Roast the nuts until fragrant. Meanwhile, crush the biscuits.
- Let the nuts cool and chop in small pieces.
- In a large bowl, add the crushed biscuits, chopped nuts, cherries, candied peel, condensed milk and the vermouth / brandy.
- Mix all ingredients (except the chocolate) until you achieve a sticky mixture.
- Roll this mixture in a cylindrical shape and wrap in grease-proof paper. Refrigerate for about 12 hours to harden.
- Melt the chocolate and cover the log shaped dessert completely. To get the trunk texture, you can simply pass through the melted chocolate with a fork to get all those ridges.
- Let the chocolate harden before slicing through it.
