Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams chocolate cookie crumbs
- 60 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 200 grams dark chocolate, chopped
- 240 ml heavy cream
- 150 grams soft caramel candies
- 180 ml milk
- 2 teaspoons powdered gelatin
- 2 tablespoons water
- 120 ml whipped cream, for garnish
- 2 tablespoons edible silver stars or sprinkles
Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) round springform pan to form the base. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the dark chocolate and 120 ml of the heavy cream in 15-second increments, stirring each time, until fully melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly, then pour the chocolate mixture over the crust. Spread evenly and refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes.
3. In a saucepan over low heat, combine the caramel candies and milk. Stir continuously until the caramels are fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes, then pour it over the chocolate layer. Refrigerate again until firm, about 15 minutes.
4. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let it bloom for 5 minutes. Heat it gently in the microwave for 10 seconds or until dissolved.
5. In a separate bowl, whip the remaining heavy cream (120 ml) with the dissolved gelatin until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the caramel layer, creating a smooth, milky finish.
6. Decorate the top with whipped cream dollops and sprinkle edible silver stars or other galaxy-themed decorations for a celestial effect.
7. Chill the dessert for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set completely. Slice and serve to impress your guests with this cosmic creation!
