Description
To put it in clear terms, this dessert is a contemporary, multi-textured interpretation of a classic European cold dish. Instead of using traditional sponge cake soaked in heavy liqueur, this modern version utilizes coarsely crushed chocolate sandwich biscuits with a sweet cream filling as its primary structural base. The broken pieces are beautifully stacked in alternating layers with two separate, luxurious dessert creams, creating a gorgeous contrast of deep black and pristine white ribbons inside your serving dish.
