Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Ganache
- 200 g dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Cookie Layers
- 1 cup crushed MM cookies, plus extra for topping
Instructions
- Prepare Chocolate and Butter: Place the chopped dark chocolate and unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl, ready for melting.
- Heat Cream: In a saucepan, warm the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer, taking care not to boil.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and butter mixture. Gently stir with a spatula until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and the ganache is smooth and glossy.
- First Layer: Pour a thin layer of the melted chocolate ganache into the bottom of your serving dish and spread evenly to cover the base completely.
- Add Cookie Crust: Sprinkle a generous layer of crushed MM cookies over the chocolate layer, pressing lightly to embed the cookies slightly into the ganache.
- Layer Repeat: Repeat layering by pouring chocolate ganache followed by crushed MM cookies, finishing with a final cookie layer on top.
- Chill to Set: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to firm up and flavors to meld beautifully.
- Final Touch: Remove from fridge and sprinkle extra crushed MM cookies on top to add extra crunch and visual appeal.
- Serve: Using a sharp knife, slice the dessert into squares. Serve chilled for a creamy, crunchy chocolate cookie experience.
Notes
- Use good quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
- Allow the ganache to cool slightly before layering to prevent melting the cookies excessively.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.
- For a nutty twist, add chopped nuts to the cookie layers.
- You can substitute MM cookies with similar chocolate sandwich cookies if preferred.
