Ingredients

For the cookie base

  • 35 g vanilla / graham cookies or other flavour you like such as coconut, chocolate, caramel, etc.
  • 12 g melted unsalted butter
  • 1/8 tsp salt

For the chocolate pudding

  • 30 g unsweetened cocoa powder (hopefully 100% cacao)
  • 100 g sugar
  • 460 ml milk can be whole, skimmed, lactose-free or vegetable
  • 15 g cornflour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 50 g dark chocolate (I used 60% cacao) + more to garnish

For the whipped cream

  • 150 g cold whipping cream
  • 1 tbsp icing sugar

Instructions

For the cookie base

  • Crush the cookies until fine and mix with the butter and salt.
  • Lay inside the mould and press to forn the bottom layer.

For the pudding

  • Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second intervals, mixing in between. Reserve.
  • Put everything except the chocolate in a pot and mix using a whisk until it starts to boil and thickens.
  • Remove from the heat, add the melted chocolate and mix.
  • Pour onto the container on top of the cookie layer.
  • Let cool down to romo temperature and take to the fridge for at least a couple of hours for it to thicken up further.

For the whipped cream (hopefully prepare right before serving)

  • If you're using an electric mixer put the cream and icing sugar in the bowl and mix until fluffy.
  • If you're doing it by hand like me prepare an ice bath first (a bowl with water and ice with another bowl on top where you're going to whip the cream). Use a whisk to beat it until fluffy.

Garnish

  • Put a tablespoon on whipped cream on top of the puddings.
  • To have those nice chocolate swirls you need to put the chocolate bar in the microwave for 10-15 seconds for it to become slightly soft. Then you grate it for that nice finish.
