Ingredients
FOR CHOCOLATE CAKE BASE
- 6 chocolate muffins, readymade refer notes
- 200 ml chocolate milk
FOR PUDDING BASE
- 2 sachets whipped cream powder
- 1/2 cup cold milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200 gm thick cream one packet
- 200 gm cream cheese like Philadelphia
- 1/3 tin condensed milk if needed for sweetness, refer notes
FOR CHOCOLATE GANACHE
- 125 gm thick cream
- 125 gm chocolate I used a mix of white and dark
FOR CRUNCHY CHOCO LAYER
- 50 gm chocolate melted
- 2 cups chocolate rice cereal
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder heaped
Instructions
- In a square pan, chop the muffins and line up the bottom. Pour chocolate milk all over and allow it to soak.
- In a mixing bowl, empty the powder sachets. Top with milk and vanilla extract. Beat till stiff.
- Add in the cream and cheese and whip just till mixed. Check for sweetness.
- If you want more sweetness, just beat in the condensed milk, or else you can avoid it.
- Spread this pudding mixture on top of the chocolate cake base. Keep in the fridge to set, and till the ganache is done.
- Heat the cream in a saucepan, using a double boiler. Add the chocolate and keep whisking till it melts completely.
- Take out of the heat and allow the ganache to cool completely.
- Now take out the dessert and spread the cooled ganache on top of the cooled dessert, evenly on the top.
- Now cover with cling film and allow the dessert to rest till the time of serving.
- For the topping, in a mixing bowl, add the chocolate rice cereal. Drizzle the melted chocolate while still hot and give it a good mix to coat all the cereal.
- Sprinkle the cocoa powder and toss to coat. Allow it to cool and keep in an airtight container till serving.
- Once ready to serve, sprinkle the rice cereal on top and serve immediately.
Notes
For the base, you can either bake your own cake or use a pound cake. I used muffins to line the base.
For the pudding base, I didn't use the condensed milk since I wanted to keep the dessert mildly sweet. Add this ingredient if you want more sweetness.
If you use hot melted chocolate on the rice cereal, it tends to crisp it up a little more.
Always top the cereal at the end. As it sits on the top of the pudding, it loses its crispiness and becomes soggy.
