How to Prepare the No-Bake Chocolate Cake
I chop the chocolate into pieces and set it aside.
In a saucepan, I pour the cream and heat it until it almost boils. Then I remove it from the heat, add the chocolate, and mix well with a whisk.
I pour the chocolate mixture over the coarsely broken cookies, stir with a spatula, and transfer everything into the pan lined with parchment paper.
I sprinkle the surface with hazelnut crumbs and place it in the freezer for at least 8 hours.
This step is important to solidify it well and make it creamy and compact.
Definitely a must-do!
