2 ½ ozs Cake crumbs
¾ cup powdered sugar
½ cup Almond flour
2 Tbsps Brandy (or rum)
4 Tbsps cream (48% fat)
½ cup cocoa powder

Preparation steps

1.
Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering (not boiling) water, then stir until smooth.
2.
Mix together the crumbs, icing sugar, ground almonds and brandy or rum until combined, then gradually add the melted chocolate, mixing well. Stir in the cream.
