Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams graham crackers
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 50 grams almonds
- 250 grams cream cheese
- 130 grams powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 300 milliliters heavy cream
- 150 grams dark chocolate
- 100 grams milk chocolate
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 150 grams fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
- 10 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Start by preparing the base. Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and rolling them with a rolling pin.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Pour the melted butter over the graham cracker crumbs and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Roughly chop the almonds and fold them into the crumb mixture for an added crunch.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to compact the crust. Place the dish in the fridge to set while preparing the filling.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and honey, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip 150 ml of the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Spread this layer evenly over the chilled crust and return to the fridge.
To make the chocolate ganache, finely chop the dark and milk chocolate and place them in a heatproof bowl. Heat the remaining 150 ml of heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just starts to simmer (do not boil). Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until a smooth ganache forms.
Stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and the sea salt. Allow the ganache to cool slightly before spreading it over the cream cheese layer.
Once the ganache is spread evenly, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set.
Before serving, optionally garnish the dessert with fresh berries and mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
Slice into squares, serve chilled, and enjoy the decadent layers of the Goddess Delight Dessert!
