Coco-Choco Wedge



A few days back i had the chance of going to the heavenly place Mcleodgunj, Himachal Pradesh. I
had gone there with friends from Mystic Yoga Studio. There we chanced upon this brilliant dish that they called Bhagsu Cake (Bhagsu was where we were staying) at the German Bakery. This dish had a very simple cheesecake like base and and was topped with a thin layer of fudge ganache. My friends told me there to recreate this and I added my personal touches and made a version of it.

So here goes...

For base 

1/3 tin condensed milk 
50 g butter (salted) 
1 tbsp corn flour 
100 g coconut biscuits 
50 g wheat flakes 
1 tbsp flax seeds 

For topping 

150 g dark chocolate 
70 ml cream 
25 g butter 


  • In a chopper / food processor blend wheat flakes, coconut biscuits, and flax seeds
  • blitz till they look like coarse bread crumbs 
  • in a pan heat butter and condensed milk and till it starts bubbling 
  • add the cornflour and cook till u see it coming together 
  • add the crumbs and turn off and mix well with a wooden spoon 
  • set in a greased lose bottom tin 
  • for topping melt the butter and chocolate in a double boiler
  • warm the cream and add to the chocolate. 
  • whisk till its mixed homogeneously 
  • pour over the biscuit base and set for 1 hour in the refrigerator 
  • cut into wedges and serve

There is a barrage of cup cake makers in the market, to the extent that people have stopped focusing on the cake bit of the cup cake. considering how easy it is to make a muffin i find it lame to go buy a dry piece of sponge smothered in artificial color and sugar. Giving u a recipe of a muffin that can be used as a cup cake base too and is moist even 3 days after baking it.
