Instructions

Crust Instructions (1st layer)

  • Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper, set a side. 
  • In a medium bowl mix the first 4 ingredients together, once well combined add in the melted butter. Keep mixing until the crust ‘dough’ comes together. 
  • With the back of a large spoon (or you can use your fingers) press the mixture in the prepared pan.
  • Bake at 350 for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Once done set aside to cool.

Cream Cheese Layer Instructions (2nd layer)

  • Combine the first 3 ingredients in a Kitchen Aid mixer and mix on high for 6-7 minutes or until the cream cheese is perfectly smooth.
  • Add the heavy cream and mix on high until light and fluffy.
  • Carefully spread over the crust. Place in the refrigerator while working on layer 3.

Chocolate Cream Layer Instructions (3rd layer)

  • Combine all ingredients in a Kitchen Aid mixer, slowly start turning the speed up (otherwise your kitchen will be covered in cocoa). Whip until stiff peaks form.
  • Carefully spread the chocolate cream over the cream cheese layer. Return pan to the refrigerator to set while preparing the final layer.

Whipped Cream Layer Instructions (4th layer)

  • Combine all ingredients in a Kitchen Aid mixer. Whip until stiff peaks form.
  • Carefully spread the chocolate cream over the chocolate layer.
  • To finish the Royal Delight shave a chocolate bar all other the whipped cream layer. Refrigerate for at least an hour or two before serving to give the layers a chance to set completely. 

Notes

Sometimes I also dust the top layer with cocoa powder to give it a deeper chocolate taste and look.
