Prepare the Cream Layer:
In a bowl, whisk together the condensed milk and cream until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
Prepare the Chocolate Layer:
In a saucepan, melt the butter and chocolates over low heat, stirring occasionally. Once melted and smooth, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Layering:
In a serving dish or individual glasses, start with a layer of the cream mixture. Follow it up with a layer of the melted chocolate mixture. Repeat these layers until the dish is filled, finishing with a chocolate layer on top.
Chill:
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or until it’s set and chilled through.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serve chilled, directly from the fridge for the best texture and flavor.
This dessert can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
Variations:
Add Nuts: You can add crushed nuts like almonds or hazelnuts between the layers for added texture and flavor.
Fruit Twist: Add a layer of fresh berries (like raspberries or strawberries) to give it a fruity contrast against the richness of the chocolate.
Vegan Option: Replace the condensed milk with a plant-based version and use coconut cream instead of dairy cream. For the chocolate layer, choose dairy-free chocolate.
