Line a 1 lb loaf tin with cling film. Take the chocolate mixture and beat well to combine the cream and chocolate - add vanilla if liked. Leave to cool, beating occasionally. When it begins to thicken, layer the chocolate and biscuits into the tin, beginning with a layer of chocolate. There should be about 5 even layers of chocolate and biscuits eachr. Cover with cling film and chill well, preferably overnight. Turn out onto a serving plate, peel of clink film and cut into thin slices.
YUM! The chocolate stays quite soft, so this is a cake that can only be eaten with a spoon / fork.
NICE biscuits are little rectangular vanilla cookies with a sugar crust in top, and made with a tiny bit of coconut in them. Any other kind of sugar cookie / biscuit (UK meaning) can probably be used. My Grandmother in Germany uses 'Butterkekse' or butter cookies.
