Ingredients
For the Cream Layer
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Chocolate Layer
• 1 cup dark chocolate (chopped or chocolate chips)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
Optional Garnish
• Chocolate shavings
• Chopped nuts or berries
Instructions
Prepare the Cream Layer
1. Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
2. Mix the Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
3. Fold Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
Assemble the Layers
1. Layer the Cream: Pour the cream mixture into a serving dish or individual ramekins, spreading evenly with a spatula. Smooth the surface.
2. Chill: Place in the refrigerator to set for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Chocolate Layer
1. Make the Ganache: Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over low heat until warm (do not boil). Pour over the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
2. Cool Slightly: Allow the ganache to cool for a few minutes before using to avoid melting the cream layer.
Add the Chocolate Layer
1. Pour Over Cream: Gently pour the chocolate ganache over the cream layer, spreading evenly.
2. Chill Again: Return to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Garnish and Serve
1. Add Garnishes (Optional): Top with chocolate shavings, nuts, or berries for added texture and flavor.
2. Slice and Enjoy: Serve chilled and savor the decadent layers.
