- Place the wrapped login the freezer for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.

Notes
Tips for Perfect Results
- It is important to taste the chocolate mixture before adding the biscuits. If it is too sweet, add some cocoa powder; but if it is not sweet enough, then drop in some condensed milk.
- Don't crush the biscuits too finely. You just need to roughly chop them to get large chunks.
- Use a bread knife to cut the lazy cake into clean slices.
- The cake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months. The addition of instant coffee or Nescafe will give the cake a coffee flavor. Feel free to omit it if you prefer a plain chocolate flavor.
