No-Bake Childhood Dream Dessert

Ingredients:

For the Layers:

• 250 ml (8.5 fl oz) water
• 3 g (0.1 oz) instant coffee
• 400 g (14 oz) cocoa biscuits
• 300 ml (10 fl oz) whipping cream
• 200 g (7.1 oz) dark chocolate
• 150 ml (5.1 fl oz) whipping cream (for dark chocolate ganache)
• 100 g (3.5 oz) white chocolate
• 2 g (0.1 oz) cinnamon

For the Cream:

• 70 g (2.5 oz) starch
• 70 g (2.5 oz) flour
• 200 g (7.1 oz) sugar
• 10 g (0.4 oz) vanilla sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 1.6 liters (54 fl oz) milk
• 80 g (2.8 oz) vanilla flavored cream mix

Preparation:

1. Prepare the Coffee Mixture: Mix the instant coffee with 250 ml of water until dissolved. Set aside to cool.
2. Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip 300 ml of whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until needed.
3. Make the Chocolate Ganache:
   • Dark Chocolate Ganache: Heat 150 ml of whipping cream without boiling it. Pour over the 200 g of dark chocolate, let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth. Set aside to cool.
4. Prepare the Vanilla Cream:
   • In a saucepan, mix the starch, flour, sugar, vanilla sugar, and egg yolk with a portion of the milk to create a smooth paste.
   • Heat the remaining milk in a separate pan. Gradually add the milk mixture to the hot milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
   • Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat, and mix in the vanilla flavored cream mix. Let cool, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
5. Assemble the Dessert:
   • Dip the cocoa biscuits in the coffee mixture and arrange them in a layer at the bottom of your dish.
   • Spread half of the vanilla cream over the biscuits.
   • Add another layer of coffee-dipped biscuits.
   • Spread the whipped cream over the second layer of biscuits.
   • Pour the dark chocolate ganache over the whipped cream.
   • Drizzle the melted white chocolate and sprinkle cinnamon over the top.
6. Refrigerate: Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set.
