NO BAKE BACI CHOCOLATE BISCUIT CAKE

NO BAKE BACI CHOCOLATE BISCUIT CAKE

It's lusciously sweet and decadent yet dances ever so delicately on the palate. Our latest sweet creation combines some of our favourite Italian flavours. The Baci chocolate and hazelnut mascarpone cream is lavishly spread between layers of biscuit and topped with a mound of morish Baci chocolates. It's fun to make and so visually satisfying to cut into, revealing all those beautiful layers.

Best of all, it needs no baking, simply make it and pop it in the fridge until it sets. It's the perfect make-ahead celebration cake, and an impressive one at that!
