Ingredients

• 300 grams Tea biscuits (e.g., digestive or Marie biscuits)
• 120 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 60 milliliters Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 100 grams Dark chocolate (for melting and drizzling, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

Break the tea biscuits into small pieces (about the size of a thumbnail) and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in the granulated sugar and cocoa powder until smooth.

Step 4

Slowly add the milk to the saucepan, whisking constantly to ensure the mixture remains smooth. Heat until the sugar is dissolved, but do not let the mixture boil.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Pour the warm chocolate-butter mixture over the crushed biscuits. Use a spatula to mix until all the biscuit pieces are evenly coated.

Step 7

Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions. Using your hands, gently shape each portion into a small pyramid on the prepared baking sheet. Press firmly to ensure the pyramids hold their shape.

Step 8

Optionally, melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave in 15-second intervals. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the pyramids for a decorative finish.

Step 9

Refrigerate the pyramids for at least 2 hours, or until they are firm.

Step 10

Serve chilled and enjoy your Egyptian Pyramids!
