Ingredients:

For the cookie base:

- 200 g of vegan chocolate
- 150 g of sugar
- 1 pack of margarine (approx. 250 g)
- 50 g of cocoa powder
- 400 ml of soy milk
- 1 essence of rum

For the cream:
- 1 pack of vanilla Creme Ole
- 300 ml of plant-based whipped cream
- 100 ml of soy milk

For the glaze:
- 100 g of vegan chocolate

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preparing the Cookie Base:
- Start by breaking the cookies into suitable pieces. You can use a food processor or a plastic bag and a rolling pin to crush them, but be careful not to turn them into powder. We want texture!
- In a saucepan, melt the chocolate together with the margarine over low heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning. It is essential to pay attention to this step, as the melted chocolate should be smooth and shiny.
- In another bowl, mix the cocoa powder with the sugar. Then, pour the cold milk over the dry mixture and whisk until you achieve a homogeneous composition.
- Add this mixture to the melted chocolate and mix well. Let the composition boil for a few moments, then remove from heat. After it has cooled slightly, add the rum essence to give it a pleasant aroma.
- Pour the resulting sauce over the cookies and mix well. Let the composition soak for a few minutes, so the cookies absorb all the flavor.
- Prepare a round dish, which you line with plastic wrap or a plastic bag. Place the cookie mixture in the dish, level it well, and press firmly. This step is essential to achieve a compact texture.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to firm up.

2. Preparing the Cream:
- In a bowl, combine the plant-based whipped cream, soy milk, and the pack of Creme Ole. Use a mixer to beat the composition until it becomes firm and fluffy. It is important to use cold cream to achieve a perfect texture.
- Once the cream is ready, take the cookie base out of the fridge and pour the cream on top. Level it with a spatula to achieve an even surface.
- Put it back in the fridge for a few minutes while you prepare the glaze.

3. Preparing the Glaze:
- Melt the chocolate together with the margarine and plant-based whipped cream over low heat, stirring constantly. When the glaze reaches the boiling point, remove it from the heat and mix well.
- Allow the glaze to cool to room temperature, then pour it evenly over the vanilla cream.

4. Final Cooling:
- Leave the cake in the fridge for another 30-60 minutes so that the glaze can firm up.

Serving Suggestions:
The cookie cake can be served plain or with a portion of fresh fruits, such as strawberries or raspberries, for a touch of freshness. A scoop of plant-based whipped cream on top can add extra flavor. Additionally, a cup of coffee or a fragrant tea pairs perfectly with this delicious dessert.
