Chocolate Hedgehog Slice
- 1 pound, 1-2/3 ounces, weight (1ish Pounds) Broken Biscuits, Cookies, Shortbread, Etc
- 1 cup Butter
- 2 cups Sugar (fine Grain)
- 1 cup Raisins / Sultanas
- 1/4 cups Cocoa
- 3 whole Eggs, Beaten
- _____
- Icing
- 2 cups Icing Sugar / Powdered Sugar
- 4 Tablespoons Cocoa
- 2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
- Warm Water
- First of all...biscuits are the Australian terms for cookies. Just so you aren't too confused.
- Break up biscuits into bits. Not crumbed, just pieces no larger the size of a 20c piece (Australia) or a quarter (USA). Of course they can be bigger or smaller depending on what you prefer. I prefer whatever is the fastest to do!
- In large pan melt the butter, then add the sugar, sultanas and cocoa. Heat and keep mixing until hot but not boiling. Take off the heat.
- Mixing very quickly, add the beaten eggs in small amounts incorporating each lot before adding the next.
- Some people prefer to add the eggs when the mixture has cooled a bit but I like the thought that the eggs have cooked. (It is a psychological thing!)
- Fold in broken biscuits.
- Press mixture into a foil lined tray (30x25cm).
- Refrigerate to set for a couple of hours.
- To make the icing / frosting....
- Mix the icing sugar, 4 TBS cocoa and 2 TBS melted butter with enough warm water to give a spreadable consistency. Beat until smooth. Spread over the hedgehog and leave until it has set.
- I store this slice in the fridge.
