Main Ingredients:
- 200 g dark chocolate or milk chocolate, if preferred – For a deep, indulgent flavor and a silky smooth texture.
- 1 cup condensed milk – Adds natural sweetness and ensures a creamy consistency.
- ½ cup heavy cream or coconut cream for a dairy-free option – Creates a rich, luscious texture.
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter – Enhances the smoothness and gives the chocolate a glossy finish.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Adds depth and rounds out the chocolate flavor.
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt – A pinch of salt brings out the natural sweetness of the chocolate.
For the Base (Optional but Recommended):
- 1½ cups crushed biscuits graham crackers or digestive biscuits – Provides a buttery, slightly crunchy contrast to the creamy chocolate layer.
- 3 tablespoons melted butter – Helps bind the biscuit base together.
Optional Toppings for Extra Indulgence:
- Chocolate shavings – For an elegant gourmet touch.
- Cocoa powder – Lightly dusted on top for a bold chocolate boost.
- Whipped cream – Adds an airy contrast to the richness.
- Caramel or berry drizzle – Elevates the flavor profile with a sweet-tart contrast.
- Crushed nuts almonds, hazelnuts, or pecans – For a satisfying crunch.
Step 1: Prepare the Base (Optional but Recommended)
If you love a bit of crunch in your chocolate dessert, start with a buttery biscuit base.
In a bowl, mix the crushed biscuits with melted butter until it forms a slightly crumbly texture.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a lined baking dish or individual dessert cups.
Place it in the refrigerator while you prepare the chocolate filling. This helps the base firm up for the perfect bite.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
The secret to that silky-smooth chocolate layer is gently melting the chocolate without overheating it.
Chop the dark or milk chocolate into small pieces for even melting.
In a heatproof bowl, add the chocolate, butter, and heavy cream.
Melt using a double boiler (placing the bowl over a pan of simmering water) or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between to prevent burning.
Once fully melted, stir in the condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. This creates a luxuriously creamy and flavorful mixture.
Step 3: Assemble and Set
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the chilled biscuit base, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Tap the dish lightly on the counter to remove any air bubbles and ensure a smooth, even layer.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours (or overnight for the best texture). The longer it chills, the more firm and creamy it becomes.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
Now comes the best part—adding those final indulgent touches!
Dust the top with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for an elegant finish.
Pipe on whipped cream for a light, airy contrast to the rich chocolate.
Drizzle with caramel sauce, berry compote, or a sprinkle of crushed nuts for extra flavor and texture.
Slice and serve chilled for the ultimate melt-in-your-mouth experience.
