Ingredients
- ½ packet Marie biscuits.
- 1packet Oreo chocolate biscuits.
- 4tbsp Condensed Milk
- 1/4cup butter melted
- 1/4cup milk
- 1cup Fresh cream
- 1/4cup thchocolate
- 4tbsp of Nutella
- 6pieces almond peeled and slivered.
Instructions
- Crush the Marie biscuits into powder in the blender. Keep aside
- Take the Oreo biscuits and with a knife gently lift the cream layer from the centre. Crumble the biscuits with hand or in a blender. I blended both.
- With a spoon pour 2 tbsps. butter, milk and condensed milk on the Marie and Oreo powders. Mix nicely until crumbly. Now slowly add a little milk to bind each into a smooth dough.
- Meanwhile, on a double boiler, heat the cream and blend in the chocolate and Nutella to form a satiny smooth Ganache.
- Take the Modak mould and press a ball of the dough, neatly into the sides of the mould. Make a depression in the centre. Fill a piping bag with the chocolate Ganache and pipe it into the mould. Add 2 slivers of almonds and seal it with more dough.
- Gently open the mould to reveal the perfect Chocolate Modak with the lava oozing out. The Modaks when opened reveal a chocolaty interior which oozes out and is creamy to taste. Chocolate to many tastes heavenly and I always say I have a chocolate tooth.
- If you want to make avant-garde and exotic Modaks, try with blueberries, mascarpone cheese, peanut butter, other fruits, caramel or any ingredients that can be moulded.
Recipe Notes
Do not make a thin ganache or it will not let the Modak keep its shape.
In the oreo mixture, add less milkmaid and milk as it binds easily.
