Decoration Tips:

- Use a piping bag to drizzle melted white chocolate in a zigzag pattern over the ganache for a visually stunning contrast.
- Serve each slice on a plate garnished with fresh berries or a mint leaf for a pop of color and freshness.
For the Batik Base:
- Melt 125g of butter over low heat. Stir in 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk until well combined. Add 1 cup of chocolate malt powder and 1/4 cup of cocoa powder to the mixture, stirring continuously. Gradually pour in 120ml of full cream milk and stir until the mixture is nearly boiling. Remove from heat.
- Fold in 300-350g of crushed Marie biscuits until they are fully coated with the chocolate mixture.
- Press the biscuit mixture firmly into a 7×7 inch pan and refrigerate to set.
For the Cream Cheese Layer:
- Blend 250g of cream cheese with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip 150ml of whipping cream until it forms stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Spread this layer over the chilled biscuit base and return to the fridge for an additional 30 minutes.
For the Chocolate Ganache Topping:
- Combine 1 cup of dark or milk chocolate with 1/2 cup of whipping cream and 1 tablespoon of butter. Use a double boiler to melt the ingredients together. Allow to cool slightly before pouring over the cream cheese layer.
- Refrigerate the cake overnight or for at least 8 hours to ensure all layers are set.
