Ingredients

• 15 sheets graham crackers
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.75 cup milk
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, pour cold heavy whipping cream and beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 2

Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.

Step 3

Spread a thin layer of the whipped cream on the bottom of a rectangular serving dish to prevent the crackers from sliding.

Step 4

Place a single layer of graham crackers over the whipped cream, breaking them if necessary to fill gaps.

Step 5

Spread an even layer of whipped cream (about 1/2 to 3/4 cup) over the graham crackers.

Step 6

Repeat the layering process until you have 4-5 layers of graham crackers and whipped cream, ending with a whipped cream layer on top. Refrigerate while preparing the ganache.

Step 7

To make the chocolate ganache, place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.

Step 8

Heat the milk in the microwave or on the stovetop until just simmering. Pour the hot milk over the chocolate chips and let sit for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Add a pinch of salt to the chocolate mixture, then whisk until smooth and glossy.

Step 10

Let the ganache cool for 5-10 minutes, then pour it over the top layer of whipped cream, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 11

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the graham crackers to soften.

Step 12

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious no-bake mock cake!
