Ingredients
Scale
- 200g dark chocolate (semi-sweet or bittersweet)
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 200g digestive biscuits or graham crackers
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Chocolate shavings or curls (optional)

Instructions
- Crush the biscuits or graham crackers into fine crumbs and mix with the melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a springform pan and chill for 15-20 minutes.
- In a bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread half of this whipped cream over the chilled biscuit base and place it back in the fridge.

- Pour the melted chocolate over the whipped cream layer and smooth it out. Then, spread the remaining whipped cream on top.
- If desired, garnish with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or fresh berries on top.
- Chill the cake for 4-6 hours or overnight before serving.
- When ready, remove the cake from the pan, slice, and serve.
Notes
Make sure to whip the cream well so it can hold its shape. Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly before pouring it over the whipped cream to prevent melting.
