Ingredients
- 200 grams crushed chocolate cookies
- 100 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 250 grams dark chocolate chips
- 200 ml whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 200 grams cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams dark chocolate bar, grated (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter. Mix well until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Step 3
Press the cookie mixture into the bottom of a lined 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan to form an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool completely.
Step 4
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and 100 ml of the whipping cream. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 5
In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together using a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Add the remaining 100 ml of whipping cream and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Continue to beat until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
Step 7
Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the cooled cookie crust. Smooth it out with a spatula.
Step 8
Pour the melted dark chocolate mixture over the cream layer and spread it evenly.
Step 9
Top with the remaining cream mixture, carefully spreading it over the chocolate layer without mixing the layers.
Step 10
Refrigerate the bars for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Step 11
Once set, garnish with grated dark chocolate. Cut into 12 equal bars and serve chilled.
