Directions

For the Base

  1. Break the tea biscuits into fairly big pieces.

  2. Place chocolate, butter (or margarine, or oil), sugar, and milk into a saucepan. Stir over medium heat until you have a smooth cream. Remove from heat and add the tea biscuits.

  3. Mix well and pour into a 9- x 13-inch baking pan. Freeze.

For the Topping

  1. Beat cream for the topping with vanilla pudding until firm. Spread over biscuit mixture in pan.

  2. Freeze for two hours.

For the Ganache

  1. Melt chocolate in a microwave or a double boiler. Add the cream and mix with a whisk until well blended. (If using dairy cream, you can heat it in a pot first to make it easier to mix.)

  2. Pour over cake and smooth with a spatula.

  3. Return the pan to the freezer until ready to serve.

When I make this cake, I store it in the freezer but take it out an hour before serving so it's cold but not frozen when eating.

Substitute for parve whipping cream I would like to make this parve, but I don't like to use parve whipping cream due to the chemicals. What can I use as a substitution for the parve whipping cream in the topping and ganache?
