Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 package of "Selga" biscuits
1 egg
90 g butter (about half a stick)
4–5 teaspoons of sugar
10 teaspoons of cocoa
6 pieces of colorful marmalade

Preparation Time

20 minutes preparation time plus at least 3 hours chilling time, ideally overnight.

Step-by-Step Instruction

Crush the Biscuits: In a large bowl, crumble the "Selga" biscuits into both fine and larger pieces.
Chop Marmalade: Finely chop the marmalade pieces and add them to the crushed biscuits, mixing well.
Prepare Egg Mixture: In a small saucepan over low heat, crack the egg and whisk continuously to warm it without letting it boil.
Mix in Butter and Sugar: Add the melted butter and sugar to the egg, stirring thoroughly to combine.
Incorporate Cocoa: Add cocoa to the egg mixture and stir until completely dissolved and smooth.
Combine with Biscuit Mixture: Pour the chocolate mixture over the biscuit and marmalade mixture, and stir until all components are evenly coated.
Shape and Chill: Lay out a sheet of foil or plastic wrap and shape the mixture into a log (sausage form). Wrap tightly and place in the refrigerator for at least three hours or preferably overnight to set.
Slice and Serve: Once properly chilled and firm, slice into pieces and serve.

Tips

Ensure the egg warms but does not cook into scrambled eggs by stirring constantly.
For a sweeter taste, increase the sugar based on preference.
Try adding chopped nuts for an additional crunchy element.
Substitute marmalade with dried fruits for a different flavor profile.
