Preparation

Process:

Put the cookies in a zip lock bag and run the rolling pin over it so that they are coarsely crushed. Keep it aside.

Whip the fresh cream and sugar till stiff.

For ganache, melt the chocolate either in a microwave or by putting in in a heatproof vessel and placing it over hot boiling water. When melted add the cream and oil if using and stirring well till everything is well incorporated. Keep it aside.

Now take the bowls u are using and line it first with the cookie mixture and then a layer of the whipped fresh cream. You can use an icing bag to make a layer of cream or use a spoon. Then line it with grated chocolate. Again put a cookie mixture followed by cream and top it with ganache. You can make as many layers as possible. Top it with glaced cherry.

Keep it in fridge for a day (See notes). The cookie mixture must absorb the moisture of cream and loose its crunchiness. Take it out of fridge 10 mins before serving.
