Ingredients
300 grams of digestive biscuits (or your choice of cookies)
150 grams of unsalted butter, softened
400 grams of sweetened condensed milk
250 grams of cream cheese
200 grams of dark chocolate, melted
100 grams of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-lock bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Mix the Butter and Biscuits: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies with the softened butter. Mix until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Form the Base Layer: Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the bottom of a rectangular or square baking dish to create an even layer.
- Make the Cream Filling: In another bowl, mix cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and powdered sugar using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add Chocolate: Gradually add the melted dark chocolate to the cream mixture, blending until fully incorporated.
- Flavoring: Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
- Layer the Filling: Spread the cream filling evenly over the biscuit base using a spatula.
- Chill the Cake: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set and develop the flavors.
- Slice and Serve: Once chilled, slice the cake into squares or rectangles with a sharp knife.
- Optional Toppings: Drizzle melted chocolate or sprinkle crushed biscuits on top before serving for extra decoration.
Notes
For a fruitier version, top with fresh berries like strawberries or raspberries.
For extra texture, add chopped nuts like hazelnuts or almonds to the biscuit base.
If you prefer a sweeter flavor, substitute dark chocolate with milk chocolate.
To make a vegan version, use dairy-free cookies, plant-based cream cheese, and non-dairy condensed milk.
