Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), chopped
- 240 ml heavy cream
- 250 grams mascarpone cheese
- 50 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 125 grams fresh blackberries
- 125 grams fresh raspberries
- 150 grams crushed chocolate cookies (e.g., Oreo or similar)
- 60 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 5 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 20 grams dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat 120 ml of heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour it over the chocolate.
Let the mixture sit for 3-4 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy to create a ganache. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter. Mix until fully incorporated and the texture resembles wet sand.
Divide the cookie mixture evenly among serving glasses or dessert cups and press it firmly into the bottom to form a crust layer.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, remaining heavy cream (120 ml), powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and forms soft peaks.
Spoon or pipe a layer of the mascarpone mixture over the cookie crust in each dessert glass.
Add a layer of fresh blackberries and raspberries, dividing them evenly between the glasses.
Spoon a layer of cooled chocolate ganache over the berries in each glass.
Repeat the mascarpone, berry, and ganache layers as needed, finishing with a smooth layer of ganache on top.
Refrigerate the assembled desserts for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight) to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.
Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves and dark chocolate shavings, if desired. Enjoy!
