Quick Recipe Overview

Metric	Details
Prep Time	25 minutes
Freeze Time	4+ hours (or overnight)
Total Time	4.5 hours
Yield	12 Party-Ready Squares

1.Prepare the Chocolate Crunch :10 mins.

Crush 2 packages of Petit Beurre biscuits into small, irregular fragments. Warm 200 ml liquid cream and 1 tbsp butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add 120 g dark chocolate, stirring continuously until completely melted and smooth. Pour the warm chocolate glaze over the crushed biscuits and mix thoroughly until coated.

2.Assemble the Base and Crunch Core :5 mins.

Line a rectangular baking mold with parchment paper or plastic wrap, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal. Arrange a single layer of whole Petit Beurre biscuits tightly across the bottom. Spoon the chocolate-biscuit crunch mixture directly on top, pressing down firmly with a spatula to level the surface.

3.Whip the Velvet Cream Cheese Filling :5 mins.

In a large chilled bowl, combine 200 g Goldium Crémeux (or cream cheese), the remaining 200 ml liquid cream, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1 sachet vanilla sugar (or 1 tsp extract). Whisk vigorously until the mixture becomes smooth, thick, and velvety.

4.Layer and Top with Biscuit Grid :5 mins.

Spread the creamy cheese filling evenly over the chocolate biscuit crunch layer, smoothing it into all four corners. Arrange the remaining whole Petit Beurre biscuits in neat, straight rows across the cream, pressing down gently to secure.

5.Deep Freeze and Serve Ice-Cold :4+ Hours.

Cover the pan tightly and freeze for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight). Let the cake sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing along the biscuit lines into 12 clean squares. Serve ice-cold!

Pro Tips for Clean Bites and Flawless Layers 💡

Don’t Over-Crush the Biscuits: For the chocolate crunch core, break the Petit Beurre biscuits into coarse, chunky fragments rather than fine crumbs. Leaving small pieces intact provides the signature crunch contrast against the velvety cream layer.
The Warm Knife Cutting Secret: To keep the whipped cream and chocolate layers intact without crushing the frozen top biscuits, submerge a sharp knife in hot water for a few seconds. Wipe the blade completely dry, slice cleanly along the biscuit borders, and wipe clean before every cut.

Chill Your Bowl for Maximum Volume: Before whipping the cream cheese and liquid cream filling, place your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10 minutes. Cold equipment ensures the cream whips up thick, stable, and airy.

Storage Hacks and Serving Suggestions

Freezer Storage: Keep the cake covered with plastic wrap or inside an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Serving Temperature: For the best ice cream sandwich texture, let the cake rest on the counter for 3 to 5 minutes before serving. This softens the cream layer slightly while keeping the center icy and crisp.
