Ingredients

  • cup heavy whipping cream
  • cup (about 200 grams) Nutella or chocolate-hazelnut spread
  • 4 tablespoons (2-ounces) unsalted butter cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon espresso powder
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 40 ( about 148 grams) Marie biscuits

Instructions

  • Line a 6-inch round cake pan with two sheets of plastic wrap overlapping in a parallel direction, leaving overhang for easy removal; set aside.
  • In a Ziploc bag, lightly break the biscuits into smaller pieces with your hands. (You don't want them finely crushed.) Transfer the pieces to a medium bowl; set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the cream, Nutella, butter, cocoa powder, and espresso powder over medium-low heat, whisking occasionally until completely smooth. Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla.
  • Pour the mixture over the broken cookies. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold them together. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and gently press into the edges. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to ensure it sets correctly.
  • When ready to serve, remove the cake using the plastic overhang. Invert the cake onto a plate, remove the plastic wrap, then invert it again onto a cutting board. Slice and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.
To freeze, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
