During tough times, nothing beats comforting homemade treats. At Ftou in Rotterdam's Foodhallen, we've perfected Kormos—a traditional Greek dessert elevated with rich chocolate. This no-bake delight is simple to make and impossible to resist. Indulge generously.
Ingredients for Kormos
300 g milk chocolate
300 ml full cream
1 pack Maria biscuits
150 g pistachio nuts
3 tablespoons cognac
Preparation time: 20 minutes
- Roughly crumble the Maria biscuits—no precision needed; it's forgiving and a fun task for kids.
- Finely chop the pistachio nuts. Substitute with your preferred nuts if desired.
- Heat the cream, chocolate, and cognac in a bain-marie, stirring gently until melted and smooth. Avoid boiling to keep the perfect texture (though ganache is tasty too).
- Fold in the crumbled biscuits and nuts.
- Line a loaf pan with baking paper, pour in the mixture, and sneak a quality-control taste from the spoon.
- Freeze until firm to the touch.
- Slice and serve when set. Portion extras, wrap in cling film, and store in the freezer for anytime cravings.
