Ingredients

• 200 grams dark chocolate
• 250 milliliters heavy cream
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 200 grams cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 50 grams butter
• 150 grams digestive biscuits or graham crackers
• 40 grams powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 30 grams dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the biscuit base: Crush the digestive biscuits or graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealable bag and rolling them with a rolling pin.

Step 2

Melt the butter in the microwave or over low heat. Mix the melted butter with the biscuit crumbs until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the biscuit mixture into the bottom of individual serving glasses or a medium-sized dessert dish to create a compact layer. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the other layers.

Step 4

Make the chocolate ganache: Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl. Heat 100 milliliters of the heavy cream until just simmering, then pour it over the chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

Prepare the vanilla cream layer: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and beat until well combined.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whip the remaining heavy cream (150 milliliters) until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.

Step 7

Assemble the dessert: Remove the biscuit base from the refrigerator. Spoon a layer of the chocolate ganache over the biscuit base, followed by a generous layer of the vanilla cream. Repeat if you have room in your serving glasses or dish.

Step 8

Garnish with dark chocolate shavings or additional biscuit crumbs if desired.

Step 9

Chill the assembled dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set before serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your 'Absolutely Heaven' dessert, a perfect balance of textures and flavors!
