Kalter Hund: no-bake chocolate cookie cake with zebra stripes when sliced

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

1. Prepare the pan

   5 min

   Line a 25 cm loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.

2. Make the chocolate mixture

   15 min

   Melt the coconut oil in a saucepan over low heat, then remove from the heat. Break the chocolate into pieces and stir it in until melted. Sift the cocoa powder and powdered sugar into the saucepan, add the vanilla sugar, salt, and cream, and whisk until smooth. Let cool for 10 minutes to thicken slightly.

3. Assemble the layers

   10 min

   Pour 3 tbsp of the chocolate mixture into the bottom of the pan and arrange a layer of cookies close together on top, breaking them as needed to fit. Spread with the chocolate mixture and continue layering until all the cookies are used, making 6 to 7 layers. Pour the remaining chocolate mixture over the top.

4. Chill until firm

   4 hr

   Refrigerate the pan for at least 4 hours, until the chocolate mixture is completely firm.

5. Slice

   5 min

   Lift the cake out of the pan using the parchment paper. Using a sharp knife warmed in hot water, cut into slices about 1.5 cm thick.

Tip: Arrange the cookies close together so the slices have straight stripes. Store the cake in the refrigerator, as the coconut oil softens at room temperature.
