Variations

Want to cater to different dietary needs? We've got you covered! 🌱

Gluten-Free: Luckily, the recipe is already gluten-free. Just double-check your chocolate and gelatin to ensure they are too.

Vegan: Exchange the heavy cream for coconut cream or a vegan whipping cream alternative. Use agar-agar as a substitute for gelatin. **Note:** Some vegan chocolates contain soy, so check labels if you have any soy allergies.

Faq

  • How do I melt the chocolate without burning it?

    Use a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

  • What if I don't have gelatin?

    Agar-agar is a great alternative for gelatin and works well to set the layers.

  • Can I use milk instead of heavy cream?

    For best results, stick with heavy cream as it provides the necessary structure and fluffiness.

  • How long should I refrigerate each layer?

    Around 30 minutes to an hour per layer should be sufficient for setting before adding the next layer.

  • How do I achieve even layers?

    Use a ladle and gently pour each layer. Let each layer set fully before adding the next.

  • Can I make this ahead of time?

    Absolutely! This dessert can be prepared 1-2 days in advance. Just keep it refrigerated until serving.
