Prepare the sauce dissolving sugar and cocoa powder in hot milk and let boil on a gentle heat for ½ hour. Let cool.
Mix the biscuts, chocolate chips, almonds and candied fruit. Finally, in a covenient plate/baking dish or similar, pour some chocolate sauce to cover the bottom. Then put a layer of melanzane, one of the candied fruit mixture and one of chocolate sauce. Repeat 3 times ending with all the remaining chocolate sauce.
