Then cover with whipped cream.

• Continue layering until all of the ingredients have been utilized, and then top with a layer of whipped cream.

Calm down:

• To allow the flavors to combine and the dessert to solidify, cover it with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight.

Serve:

• For an added touch, add chocolate shavings or small chocolate chips as a garnish before serving. Enjoy after scooping into portions!
