For the Chocolate Base:

• 200g Cookies (your choice, ideal for crushing)
• 150g Dark Chocolate
• 75g Butter
• 90ml Warm Milk (heated for 30-60 seconds in the microwave)

For the Meringue:

• 4 Large Egg Whites
• 260g Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract or Puree

For the Coating:

• 200g Dark Chocolate
• 20g Cocoa Butter or Oil

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Base: Crush the biscuits in a food processor until you get coarse crumbs. Melt the dark chocolate and butter in a bowl, stirring until smooth. Mix in the warm milk. Combine the crushed biscuits with this chocolate mixture.
2. Set the Base: Spread the mixture evenly in a 20×20 cm pan and freeze for 30-60 minutes until set. Use a small round cutter to shape the mixture into circles. Place these circles in the refrigerator.
3. Make the Meringue: In a heatproof bowl, combine egg whites and sugar. Place the bowl over a pot of boiling water (double boiler style), ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm. Transfer to a mixer, add vanilla, and whip for about 10 minutes to a firm, glossy meringue.
4. Assemble: Using a piping bag with a round nozzle, pipe the meringue onto the chilled chocolate bases. Freeze for 30 minutes to set.
5. Chocolate Coating: Melt additional dark chocolate with cocoa butter. Dip the meringue-topped biscuits into the chocolate, ensuring a thin, even coating.
