Don’t Over-Soak the Biscuits
A quick dip in milk is enough. Over-soaking can make the layers too soft.

Adding the melted chocolate gradually helps maintain the airy texture of the whipped cream.
Chill Before Serving
Allowing the dessert to rest in the refrigerator helps the layers set properly and improves slicing.
