Add wafer crumbs (can be replaced with crushed chocolate crackers), coconut flakes, nuts, and mix well.
- Crushed vanilla wafers: 190 g
- Coconut flakes: 100 g
- Walnuts: 65 g

Place the resulting mass in a buttered square mold and press it down. The mold should not be wide. Put it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Now prepare the cream layer. For this, beat 70 grams of softened butter with a mixer until creamy.

Add the vanilla pudding powder and milk. While continuing to whisk, gradually add the powdered sugar.

Pour the mixture over the base and refrigerate until this layer thickens.

Now prepare the chocolate topping. Melt the chocolate pieces and the remaining butter in a saucepan and let it cool slightly.

Pour the chocolate as the third layer into the mold and place it in the fridge, but only until the chocolate starts to harden.

Next, make a 'marking' with a knife, that is, outline the future cuts. Before the top layer hardens, cut the dessert into pieces. Do this with a hot knife, wiping it clean after each cut.
