A Decadent Dessert Delight

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dark chocolate (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds (optional)
  • Fresh berries (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Press the mixture into the base of a springform pan or dessert dish to form an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the chocolate filling: In a heatproof bowl, melt both dark and milk chocolate with the unsalted butter over a double boiler, stirring until smooth. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. Whip the cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, beat heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
  4. Assemble the layers: Gently fold the whipped cream into the slightly cooled chocolate mixture. Add sea salt and mix until fully combined.
  5. Layer the dessert: Pour the chocolate mixture over the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing it into an even layer. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm.
  6. Garnish and serve: Before serving, top the dessert with chopped toasted almonds and fresh berries for a pop of color and crunch.
  7. Enjoy: Slice and indulge in this rich, creamy, and indulgent dessert!
