Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 250 milliliters heavy cream
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 200 grams cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams butter
- 150 grams digestive biscuits or graham crackers
- 40 grams powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 30 grams dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the biscuit base: Crush the digestive biscuits or graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealable bag and rolling them with a rolling pin.
Melt the butter in the microwave or over low heat. Mix the melted butter with the biscuit crumbs until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the biscuit mixture into the bottom of individual serving glasses or a medium-sized dessert dish to create a compact layer. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the other layers.
Make the chocolate ganache: Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl. Heat 100 milliliters of the heavy cream until just simmering, then pour it over the chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the vanilla cream layer: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the remaining heavy cream (150 milliliters) until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
Assemble the dessert: Remove the biscuit base from the refrigerator. Spoon a layer of the chocolate ganache over the biscuit base, followed by a generous layer of the vanilla cream. Repeat if you have room in your serving glasses or dish.
Garnish with dark chocolate shavings or additional biscuit crumbs if desired.
Chill the assembled dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set before serving.
Enjoy your 'Absolutely Heaven' dessert, a perfect balance of textures and flavors!
