Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Place the chopped chocolate in a medium-sized heatproof bowl.
Step 2
Set aside. Heat the cream and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Step 3
Do not boil; just bring to a simmer. Immediately pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for a minute or two. Stir with a rubber spatula until smooth (if the chocolate doesn't melt completely, microwave for 20 seconds, or use a double boiler until melted).
Step 4
Optionally, you can add liqueur.
Step 5
Add the crushed cookies, preferably Milk Cookies. A good mix is equal parts chocolate gingerbread, Milk Cookies, and biscuit crumbs. Mix thoroughly, cover with a lid, and refrigerate until the mixture firms up (for a few hours or overnight).
Step 6
Alternatively, you can add the butter at the end without heating.
Step 7
Pour the coating for the cakes onto a plate. Remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Roll the cakes in your palms. Coat the formed cakes in the topping and place them on parchment paper on a baking sheet or tray. Decorate with white cream or nuts.
Step 8
Cover with a lid and refrigerate until set.
