The dessert is elegantly presented on individual dessert plates, with each layer visible and adorned with a drizzle of velvety chocolate sauce.

Tips
To make this dessert accessible to those with dietary restrictions or preferences, ingredient substitutions can be made. For a vegan version, swap the dark chocolate ganache for a dairy-free alternative made from melted vegan chocolate or coconut cream. Gluten-free individuals can use a gluten-free chocolate or make a crust with crushed gluten-free cookies. For a healthier twist, opt for a sugar-free chocolate ganache sweetened with natural sweeteners like stevia or maple syrup.
