This is an old Dutch recipe for a very 'powerful' chocolate pie.

Ingredients

Filling

• 150–200 g cocoa powder
• 150–200 g white granulated sugar
• 250–500 g butter
• About 1 cup milk (optional)

Crust

• 2–3 packs of 'marie' biscuits (also known as 'rich tea' biscuits)
• Cold brewed black coffee or other taste makers (optional)

Topping

• Chocolate sprinkles

Special equipment

• Dish or mold with high sides (e.g. springform or pie pan; about 26 cm in diameter)
• Saucepan
• Wooden spoon

Procedure

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan, then mix in the sugar.
2. Stir in the cocoa and milk.
3. Dip biscuits in the coffee, and arrange them in the bottom of the dish to make a single layer. Spread the chocolate mixture on top of the biscuits. Repeat this step until you run out of biscuits and chocolate.
4. Scatter the sprinkles on top, then chill in the fridge until set.
5. Slice and serve.

Notes, tips, and variations

• The above measurements aren't precise; play with the amounts to your liking.
• Adding the milk will make the cake less solid.
• Coffee is optional; addition is to taste.
• Use about 750 g butter for more than 2 layers of biscuits, and adjust the cocoa/sugar to match.
• Vegan variation: Remove the milk and chocolate sprinkles, and replace the butter by ⅔ soy butter and ⅓ margarine (or all margarine).
