Prepare a base by mixing chocolate biscuits with melted butter until crumbly.

Press the biscuit mixture into a baking dish to form a crust.

In a bowl, combine cream cheese and dulce de leche until smooth.

Spread the cream cheese mixture over the biscuit crust evenly.

Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.

For a layered dessert, alternate layers of biscuits and cream cheese mixture.
