Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups crushed graham crackers or digestives
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups milk chocolate, melted
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust:
- Combine the crushed graham crackers with the melted butter in a bowl.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan to form a crust.
- Refrigerate for about 10 minutes to set.
- Make the Cream Layer:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Spread the creamy layer evenly over the chilled crust.
- Create the Chocolate Layer:
- Melt the milk chocolate (you can use a double boiler or microwave).
- Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly, then pour it over the cream layer.
- Gently spread to cover the top completely.
- Finish with Dark Chocolate:
- Melt the dark chocolate chips and drizzle over the top of the milk chocolate layer for decoration.
- Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Cut into squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps.
- For a hint of coffee flavor, add a teaspoon of instant coffee granules to the cream cheese mixture.
- You can substitute milk chocolate with dark chocolate if you prefer a richer taste.
- Add nuts or berries between layers for extra texture.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the dessert into neat squares, wiping the blade between cuts for cleaner edges.
