Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/350°F and spread the cashew nuts on a baking sheet. Toast the nuts in the oven for 8–10 minutes until light golden brown. Leave to cool slightly, then roughly chop the nuts and set aside for later.,
STEP 2
Combine the butter, icing (confectioners’) sugar, cocoa powder and salt in a large bowl. Beat together until smooth, then add 50ml (1¾fl oz) of the milk and mix to combine. Finally, add the double (heavy) cream and beat for 2–3 minutes until smooth and light.,
STEP 3
Place the remaining milk in a separate, shallow bowl and dunk the Rich Tea biscuits (Graham Crackers) in the milk one at a time for 5 seconds each. Don’t leave them in there any longer, or they will break down and turn soggy. Arrange the soaked biscuits in a layer on the base of a 16cm x 20cm (6¼in x 8in) serving dish or 8 individual ramekins. Once you have a single layer of biscuits, spread a third of the chocolate mixture on top and level the surface with the back of a spoon. Repeat the process, alternating a layer of biscuits and a layer of chocolate buttercream, until you have 3 layers of each. Cover the pudding and refrigerate for 2–3 hours until the buttercream firms up.,
STEP 4
To serve, cut into square portions and sprinkle the roughly chopped cashew nuts on top.
