100 g milk chocolate (or dark chocolate if desired) (3.5 oz), chopped
100 ml cream with 33%-35% fat content (0.5 cup)
Directions
Prepare the Base:
Crush the cookies into small pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the 120 g of chopped walnuts to the crushed cookies.
In a saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and vanilla sugar. Stir well over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
Add the cocoa powder to the milk mixture and stir continuously until it thickens.
Once thickened, add the butter and stir until fully melted and combined.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the cookie and walnut mixture. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Transfer the mixture into a baking pan, pressing it down to create an even layer. Smooth out the surface with a spatula.
Prepare the Top Layer:
Chop the remaining 20 g of walnuts and sprinkle them evenly over the base layer.
In a separate saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
Remove the cream from the heat and add the chopped chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the base layer, spreading it evenly.
Chill and Serve:
Place the dessert in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set.
Once set, slice into pieces and serve.
