5m
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing. If whipping cream separately, keep it very cold.

In a shallow dish, mix the warm milk with the instant cappuccino powder until dissolved. Quickly dip each biscuit into the coffee mixture, ensuring it's moistened but not soggy.

3m
Dip biscuits quickly, as they absorb liquid fast and can become overly soft.
3
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and 60ml milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler.

Stir gently to prevent scorching the chocolate. Let it cool slightly before using.

Assemble the dessert: Arrange a single layer of coffee-dipped biscuits at the bottom of a serving dish. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the biscuits. Drizzle generously with half of the melted chocolate. Repeat with another layer of biscuits, the remaining cream cheese mixture, and the remaining chocolate.

Use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to spread layers smoothly. You can slightly warm the chocolate if it starts to thicken too much for drizzling.
5
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely and for the flavors to meld.

Chilling is crucial for the dessert to firm up and for the biscuits to soften perfectly. Cover loosely with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
