Crush the cookies: Place 400 grams of cookies in a large plastic bag or between sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to crush the cookies into small, even pieces.
Tip: You want some texture in the cookies, so avoid crushing them into a fine powder. Larger pieces will add a satisfying crunch to dessert.
Chop the nuts: Roughly chop 100 grams of walnuts. The pieces should be small enough to blend well, but large enough to add a noticeable crunch.
Tip: Toast the nuts beforehand to enhance their flavor and add an extra layer of depth to the dessert.
Mix and refrigerate:
Mix it all together: In a large bowl, combine the crushed cookies and chopped nuts. Pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture over the cookie and nut mixture, stirring until everything is evenly coated.
Tip: Make sure all cookie pieces are well coated with the chocolate mixture for an even flavor in every bite.
Transfer to a dish: Press the mixture into a dish, spreading it evenly to create an even layer. Refrigerate for 1 hour to allow it to set.
Tip: Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press the mixture firmly, making sure it holds together.
