Twix cake to go

Ingredients

Cookie layer

200 grams (7 ounces) sugar cookies
40 grams (1.4 ounces or 3 tablespoons) butter

Caramel cream

260 milliliters (1 cup) whipping cream
200 grams (7 ounces) boiled condensed milk

Ganache

100 grams (3.5 ounces) milk chocolate
100 grams (3.5 ounces or 3.5 fluid ounces) whipping cream

Equipment

Food Processor
Essential for grinding sugar cookies into fine crumbs. Pro tip: Pulse in short bursts to avoid overheating the motor.
Mixing Bowls
Make sure to have a medium-sized bowl for the cookie mix and a larger one for the cream. Clean bowls ensure better whipping results!
Electric Mixer
Helps achieve a fluffy caramel cream by beating the boiled condensed milk with chilled cream. No hand fatigue here!
Saucepan
Used for heating whipping cream to make the ganache. Be patient and let the cream come to a gentle boil.
Spatula
Great for spreading cream and ganache layers smoothly. A silicone spatula works best.
Freezer
Used to set each layer before adding the next. Set a timer to avoid over-freezing.

Instructions

Step 1

Step 1: Grind the cookies into fine crumbs and mix them with the melted butter until the mixture is well combined. Tip: Use a food processor to make grinding easier and ensure even crumbs.

Step 2

Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat the boiled condensed milk with the chilled whipping cream until it forms a smooth cream. Tip: Make sure the cream is cold for better whipping results.

Step 3

Step 3: To prepare the ganache, bring the whipping cream to a boil and then remove it from the heat. Add in the chopped milk chocolate and let it sit for a minute before mixing thoroughly until smooth. Tip: Use a whisk for a smoother ganache.

Step 4

Step 4: Fill the dessert cups in layers, starting with a layer of the cookie mixture (press it down slightly), followed by a layer of the caramel cream (spread it evenly), and then a layer of the ganache. Tip: Use a small spoon or spatula for even layering.

Step 5

Step 5: Place the cups in the freezer for 5 minutes to set each layer. Repeat these steps two more times to create multiple layers.

Step 6

Step 6: Finally, decorate the top layer with cookie crumbs for a finishing touch. Tip: Crumble some extra cookies ahead of time for easy decoration.

Variations

🌾 **Gluten-Free Option:** Use gluten-free cookies instead of regular sugar cookies. Make sure to check the packaging to ensure there are no traces of gluten.

🌱 **Vegan Variation:** Swap the butter with vegan butter or coconut oil, and use plant-based whipping cream. Opt for a vegan condensed milk made from coconut milk and a high-quality vegan chocolate for the ganache.

These variations are just as tasty and ensure that everyone can enjoy this delightful treat! 🌟

Faq

What if I don't have a food processor?
You can place the cookies in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they become fine crumbs.
Can I use a hand whisk instead of an electric mixer?
Yes, but it will take longer and require more effort. Ensure your cream is very cold to achieve the right consistency.
How do I ensure my ganache doesn't separate?
Make sure your whipping cream isn't too hot when you add the chocolate. Stir gently and patiently until fully combined.
What if my caramel cream is too runny?
Chill it in the fridge for a bit until it thickens up before using it in the layers.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare these pastries a day in advance and store them in the fridge. They also freeze well if you want to keep them longer.
How to achieve that smooth, professional look?
Use a spatula to spread each layer evenly and give a quick chill in the freezer to set each layer before adding the next.
