- Add Brigadeiro Layer: Pour half of the chocolate mixture over the biscuits and spread evenly.
- Repeat: Add another layer of biscuits followed by the rest of the chocolate mixture.
- Chill: Place the mold in the freezer and chill for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Decorate: Once set, remove from the mold, decorate with chocolate shavings and chopped biscuits, and serve!
