How to make the perfect Kalter Hund / Kalte Schnauze?

Ladies and gentlemen, gather round, because Detective Pux is here to teach you how to make the perfect Kalter Hund, also known as the "cold dog" in English. And let me tell you, this ain't your average cold dog, this is a deliciously rich, chocolatey, and buttery cold dog that will have your taste buds wagging with excitement.

First things first, let's gather our ingredients. You'll need 3 tablespoons of coconut fat, 3 tablespoons of heavy cream, 5¼ ounces of semi-sweet baking chocolate, and 12 butter cookies. Now, I know some of you might be thinking "But Detective Pux, can't I use any old cookies for this recipe?" And to that I say, "Heck no! This is a high class operation, we only use the finest butter cookies."

Next, we're going to line a mold with cling wrap. Trust me, this step is important, otherwise you'll be left with a big ol' mess on your hands. And nobody wants that.

Now, in a small saucepan, slowly warm the coconut fat and cream over very low heat. Once that's all nice and toasty, add in the chopped chocolate and stir until it's fully melted and smooth. This is the part where your kitchen will start to smell like a chocolate factory, and let me tell you, it's a heavenly scent.

Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit for a few minutes. Once the chocolate filling is still soft but not runny, spread a thin layer in the mold, and place a butter cookie on top. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the filling over it and place another cookie on top. Repeat the process with the rest of the cookies and the chocolate filling.

Gently straighten out the sides with a dinner knife and place the mold in the freezer. Check back in a few minutes and straighten out the sides again if they've shifted. Leave it in the freezer until the filling is fully hardened.

Once it's hardened, unmold it onto a plate and refrigerate until you're ready to serve. Cut the cake with a serrated knife and enjoy! And let me tell you, this Kalter Hund will keep in the refrigerator for several days, so you can enjoy it again and again.

So there you have it, folks. The perfect Kalter Hund recipe, straight from the mind of Detective Pux. Now go forth and make chocolatey, buttery deliciousness. And remember, as always, if you have any questions or need help with the recipe, don't hesitate to call on good ol' Detective Pux.
