- 1 cup heavy cream For indulgence

Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and sugar. Add melted butter (if you have it) until it resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch round springform pan or an 8x8 square dish.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, mix the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Gradually fold the whipped cream into this mixture until everything is smooth and velvety.
- Pour the chocolate filling over your crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly. Create fun swirls using a spatula if desired.
Chilling
- Cover the dessert and pop it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to set.
Serving
- Gently release the springform pan and slice into delicious pieces. Optional: drizzle with chocolate sauce or garnish with fresh berries.
Notes
Customize your flavor by adding a layer of peanut butter or using coconut cream for a dairy-free option. Keep a slice for those 'just because' days!
