Regarding the Glaze:

Instructions
- Get the cake base ready:
Line the Pan: Use plastic wrap or parchment paper to line a round cake pan or rectangular baking dish, leaving an overhang on the sides for effortless removal.
Crush the Biscuits: Use a plastic bag and rolling pin to crush the biscuits into small pieces, or use a food processor to make coarse crumbs.
Prepare the Chocolate Concoction: Heat the butter, milk, sugar, and cocoa powder in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth. Take off the heat and squeeze in some vanilla extract.
Mix and Press: Mix the chocolate mixture with the crushed biscuits, making sure that every biscuit piece is evenly covered. Smooth out the ingredients uniformly by pressing it into the prepared pan.
- Get the Glaze Ready:
Melt the chocolate. Put the chopped dark chocolate in a basin that can withstand heat. Pour the heavy cream over the chocolate after heating it until it boils. Stir until smooth after a minute of waiting.
Apply the Glaze: Evenly cover the cake with the glaze. - Chill and Serve: Put the cake in the fridge for at least four hours, or until it sets.
To serve, use the parchment overhang to lift the cake out, cut it into slices, and serve it cold.
Serving Recommendations:
With Fresh Berries: To provide a refreshing counterpoint to the decadent chocolate, serve with a side of fresh berries.
With Whipped Cream: For added decadence, top with a spoonful of whipped cream.
With Tea or Coffee: Savor a piece with your preferred hot beverage.
