Almondy Daim Chocolate Cake with Crunchy Caramel, 400g (Frozen)

Product Information

It makes it a richer flavour without being too filling still, and folding through the chopped up Daim Bars makes it have the ever so slight hints of almond and caramel, without being too overpowering.

Add the flour, ground almonds, baking powder and salt, and mix to a smooth batter. Split the batter evenly between the two tins and bake for 18-20 minutes, until lightly browned and springy to the touch. Leave to cool completely.If you can’t eat nuts then you will have to basically ignore this recipe, but for the Daim Bar lovers out there like me.. this is for you. Kraft Foods acquired Freia Marabou in 1993 and started distributing Daims more widely on the French market, selling them at regular grocery stores, introducing them as a larger-sized bar, and even working with le MacDo to produce a Daim McFlurry (vanilla ice-cream mixed with Daim crush-ins). I myself enjoy them very much (caramel, chocolate, and almonds: what could go wrong?), although with a little more restraint than the average consumer who, according to a study conducted by Kraft Foods France, usually eats nine (nine!) Daims in a row. To make the buttercream, add the yolks, sugar and a tablespoon of water to the bowl of a stand mixer or heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and heat the yolks, whisking constantly, until hot to the touch and silky – four to five minutes. Remove from the heat.

To make the filling, put the caramel/dulce de leche in a mixing bowl. Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water for 5 minutes until soft, then put in a pan with 3 tbsp of the caramel and a large splash of water. Heat very gently, stirring, until the gelatine has melted completely. Don’t let it boil. Mix the gelatine caramel into the rest of the caramel, stirring to combine. Sit the bowl in a roasting tin filled with ice cubes and cold water, then slowly stir with a spatula until the caramel turns gelatinous (about 20 minutes). Once that happens, remove the bowl from the iced water and set aside.

I decided that the best way to make this into a cheesecake was to follow in the footsteps of my No-Bake Toblerone Cheesecakeand my No-Bake Honeycomb Crunchie Cheesecake–Making a chocolatey base of a cheesecake, and folding through the sweets! For the buttercream frosting again I just followed a basic buttercream – I wanted to melt down the Daim Bar to make something themed, but it just wouldn’t melt. The caramel inside the chocolate isn’t going to melt well, so it’s not worth it! I will admit that I have neglected them over the years for other chocolates, till I was asked to create this delicious recipe from one of my regular readers and I was MORE THAN HAPPY to oblige! Yum! To assemble, put one cake on a board or plate. Spoon half of the buttercream on top and sandwich put the other cake on top like a sandwich, top side down. Spread the remaining buttercream on the top and sides, then chill in the fridge while you make the glaze.In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and almond flour. In a smaller bowl, toss the chopped Daims with a tablespoon of the flour mixture. You don’t have to use the almonds in the base, but as a Daim Bar is an almond/caramel sweet, it does suit the flavour really well! (However, I don’t find the Almond in the Daim bar comes through that strongly itself, so if you don’t like almonds – you will still be fine with this cheesecake!) But if you’re not using the almonds in the base, still use the 300g of biscuits – no more. Use a Bain Marie or microwave to carefully melt the 150gs of milk and dark chocolate, stirring until well mixed. Put into the oven to bake for 55 minutes to 1 hour, until the top of the cake is brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

The base of the cheesecake has almonds in, to fit with the flavour of the Daim Bars, but the almonds are optional. I decided with this recipe that I would use a mixture of Milk & Dark chocolate in the main cheesecake filling because I like the mixture of the two chocolates! A famous 1995 television commercial (directed by John Lloyd) [4] for the chocolate bar in the United Kingdom featured the comedian Harry Enfield, in which a salesman describes the Daim bar as "smooth on the outside, crunchy on the inside", while a customer says he prefers armadillos, which are "smooth on the inside, crunchy on the outside." [5] [6] [7] Another successful commercial campaign was launched in 1996, and featured a spoof of Raiders of the Lost Ark. An unnamed adventurer uses a Daim bar to avoid triggering a death trap in an ancient temple, only to then return for the chocolate bar and take his chances with the crumbling structure. [8] In 2005, the spelling in the UK and Ireland was changed to "Daim", in line with the rest of the world. [9]I will say, I wish I could have got more Daim Bar in there, but they don’t melt very well… I tried. The texture of a Daim bar goes perfectly with this recipe though, its a must try! You can basically just bash up biscuits, raisins, and Daim Bar minis and cover it all with melted chocolate. But I like a chocolate fridge cake recipe with cocoa powder and golden syrup.
