Ingredients :

• Dark baking chocolate (250 g) — Choose chocolate between 52 and 60% cocoa, no more. Above that, the cream becomes too intense and masks everything else. A standard baking bar works perfectly.
• Sweetened condensed milk (1 can) — This is what sweetens AND binds the cream. Do not replace it with unsweetened evaporated milk — the result would be completely different and much less indulgent.
• Heavy liquid cream (2 cups) — It must be cold to whip properly. Take it out of the fridge just before using. Minimum 30% fat content, otherwise it won’t hold and everything will collapse.
• Maria biscuits (2 packs) — Spanish dry biscuits, neutral and slightly sweet. Found in international aisles or specialty shops. Otherwise, ladyfingers or Thé Lu biscuits work very well — same logic, same result.
