Prep time

Ingredients
- Dark Chocolate: 400g dark chocolate
- Natural Yogurt: 200g natural yogurt
- Maple Syrup: 3 tbsp maple syrup
- Double Cream: 120g double cream
- Coconut Cream: 160g coconut cream
- Shortbread: 150g shortbread, broken into bite-sized pieces
- Glace Cherries: 80g glace cherries
- Cardamom Pods: 8 cardamom pods, seeds ground to a powder using a pestle and mortar
- Black Coffee: 50ml strong black coffee, cooled
Directions
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of just-simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Stir in the ground cardamom.
- Whip the cream to soft peaks, then fold through the yogurt, coconut cream, coffee and maple syrup. Mix in the biscuits and cherries (it might seize a bit, but don't worry). Fold through the chocolate until well incorporated (this may take a couple of mins - I like to use a siliconespatula). Pour the mixture into a lined 900g loaf tin, and cover and chill in the fridge for at least 3 hrs. Cut into slices and serve.
