Batik Cake / Kek Batik (Asian version of Kalter Hund)



I've made this countless times and its always a hit! The best part is no baking is required... easy, simple and yummy.... this is a new post because I realize the last post was ages ago and its difficult to find! The german version uses butter cookies and requires zero cooking so it melts faster! Don´t worry if the mixture looks curdled or lumpy. Once you press down the biscuits everything will set nicely and it doesn´t melt or becomes a gooey mess in room temperature.

Ingredients

1/2 cup Milo powder
1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
1/2 boiling water
3/4 cup butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
5 eggs (beaten)
250g Marie Biscuits or even Graham Biscuits. (its lighter than butter cookies)

Directions

  1. Pour cocoa powder, milo and boiling water in a pot and stir. On low heat, add butter, sugar, vanilla, eggs and condensed milk to the cocoa mixture and stir until mixture thickens. Roughly it will take about 20 minutes of stirring to get a custard-like consistency. Break biscuits into quarters and stir into the custard mixture
  2. In the meantime, prepare any container you prefer. I use 6" X 6" square container. You can line the container with parchment paper for easy removal but i usually don't.
  3. Pour the mixture into the container and press down. Refrigerate for about 3-5 hours but i like to keep it overnight in the freezer so that the custard sets properly.
  4. Cut into slices and serve!
