Ingredients:
2 packs of cocoa-flavored petit-beurre biscuits
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
100 grams butter
For the Middle Layer:
1 pack of whipping cream
1 cup milk
2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
For the Ganache:
Half a pack of cream
60 grams dark chocolate
60 grams milk chocolate
Instructions:
Crush the biscuits in a food processor and transfer to a mixing bowl.
Add milk, butter, and cocoa powder to the biscuits. Mix well and press firmly into a mold.
For the middle layer, combine whipping cream, milk, coconut, butter, and powdered sugar. Follow the same process as the base layer, pressing the mixture firmly on top of the biscuit base.
For the ganache, heat the cream in a saucepan until it starts to simmer around the edges. Then, add finely chopped chocolate and stir until smooth.
Pour the ganache over the cake and spread evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Note: If you don't have a springform pan, you can use any small square or round container lined with cling film to shape the cake. I used a heart-shaped cake mold for this recipe.
