The Pyramid cake



The pyramid Cake:


One day I was board and I was craving home-made sweet. I opened one of the cooking book and found this interesting recipe and I tried it. I made it for a Thursday night as it is a family gathering night. 

Biscuit ingredients:

  •    1 ¼ Butter biscuit (45 pieces)

White sauce ingredients:

  •  1 egg
  •  ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 sack dream wip
  • 1 packet butter
  • 2 packet creamy cheese Philadelphia ( weigh for each can is 200 grams
  • 2 pieces kiri cheese

Chocolate sauce:

  •  8 Galaxy chocolate or any kind of chocolate (each weigh 47 grams
  • ½ cup milk.

Garnishing ingredients:
  • Chocolate flavoured syrup.





Preparation:

For making the white sauce:


  • Beat the eggs + sugar in an electric mixer.
  • Put the butter on the mixture, and then put the remaining ingredients of the white sauce.
  • Get a rectangular tray and cover it with foil. Leave enough space for covering the cake.









The first layer:


  • Put 3 pieces of biscuits to form the width of the rectangle and 5 pieces of biscuits to form the length of the rectangle. (Total 15 pieces)
  • Wipe the white sauce over the biscuits and make sure that all biscuits are covered.







The second layer:


  • Put another 15 biscuits over the first layer and then cover it with the white sauce.





The third layer and the pyramid:


  • Put another 15 biscuits over the 2 layers and then cover it with the white sauce.
  •  Raise the foil of the first line of biscuits with the third line of biscuits until they meet and the middle line will be the base between them
  •  Then open the foil and you will be able to see the shape of the pyramid 
  • Then carefully wipe the rest of the white sauce on all sides of the pyramid.
  • Then  put it in the freezer until it hold together, meanwhile prepare the chocolate sauce.


For making the chocolate sauce:


  • In a warm water bath, melt the chocolate in the milk until it becomes a liquid.
  •  Remove it from the fire and leave it to cool slightly
  • Cover all side of the pyramid with the chocolate sauce and put it in the freezer for quarter or half an hour until it freezes. Don’t cover it with the foil
  • After that put it in the fridge for 2 hours.










Serving:


  • Elevate the pyramid carefully in a serving plate and garnish it with the chocolate syrup.






Note:
It’s preferable to make the pyramid one day before serving. ( do the chocolate sauce on the day of serving)

My experience:


  • I did the pyramid one day before serving, it made it easier for me to cover it with the chocolate sauce and I didn't worry about breaking the pyramid when elevating it to the serving plate.
  • It’s a unique sweet and taste delicious. My family loved it.
