• 150g melted dark chocolate
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder

Instructions

4. To make the filling, simply add the cream cheese, cooled melted chocolate, sugar and beat well. Mix the cocoa powder with the hot water until you get a smooth paste
5. Add to the cream cheese mixture
6. Mix everything together
7. Put a tablespoon of the chocolate mix on top of the biscuit base
