Yield: 8 servings
Cuisine: Slovak
Ingredients: 350 g Butter cookies; 100 g Chopped walnuts; 100 g Chopped hazelnuts; 150–200 ml Milk; 160 g Butter; 2 tbsp Powdered sugar; 1 tbsp Rum; 2 tbsp Cocoa powder; 700 ml Milk; 2 packets Vanilla pudding mix (cook-type; 40 g each); 3 tbsp Granulated sugar; 200 g Butter; 1 tbsp Powdered sugar; 200 g Milk chocolate

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Crush the cookies and mix with all the nuts. Add the butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and rum, then gradually add the milk until a dough forms. Grease a cake pan with butter or line it with parchment paper. Press the dough into the bottom, smooth the surface, and refrigerate until firm.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Cook the pudding mix with the milk and granulated sugar according to the usual pudding-making method, then let cool. Beat the butter with the powdered sugar until light and fluffy, then gradually mix it into the pudding.
Spread the filling over the cookie base. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and pour it over the top of the dessert.

Tip: Stir a teaspoon of butter into the melted chocolate, and score the topping into squares once it loses its shine but before it sets completely. This will keep the topping from cracking when sliced.
