This recipe is originally from the \fIYediot Achronot\fR (Latest News) newspaper supplement here in Israel. It should be prepared a day or two before you intend to eat it, so that the flavoring fills out. Definitely not for people on a diet. .IH "Serves 6\-8" .SH CAKE .IG "1 lb" "tea biscuits" "500 g" (dry cookies) .IG "3 Tbsp" "liqueur" "50 ml" (chocoloate or coffee flavored) .IG "3 Tbsp" "brandy" "50 ml" .IG "2\(12 cups" "cream" "600 ml" .IG "3 cups" "milk" "750 ml" .IG "3 pkgs" "instant chocolate pudding" .IG "pinch" "salt" "0.5 ml" .SH FROSTING .IG "4 oz" "bittersweet chocolate" "100 g" .IG "4 oz" "milk chocolate" "100 g" .PH .SK 1 Arrange a layer of biscuits at the bottom of a large baking pan. .SK 2 Mix the brandy and liqueur in a small container, and pour on top of the biscuits. .SK 3 Whip the cream, milk, pudding and salt until the mixture is thick. .SK 4 Pour the mixture on top of the biscuits.
