Melt 100 grams of unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat.

Add 1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder to the melted butter and stir to combine.

Add 1/4 cup of granulated white sugar to the mixture and keep stirring until uniform and thick; switch off the flame and allow to cool.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of powdered almond and cashew, 1/2 cup of biscuits (bore bomb and milk bikis), and 1 cup of shredded fresh coconut.

Pour the cooled butter and cocoa mixture into the bowl and whisk until there are no lumps and everything is combined.

Press the mixture firmly into an 8x8 inch baking tray lined with butter paper and refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.

For the second layer, mix 100 grams of melted butter with 1 cup of powdered sugar until well combined; you can use store-bought powdered sugar.

Add 2 tbsp of custard powder to the mixture and whisk until it forms a velvety creamy texture.

Spread the second layer evenly over the first layer in the baking tray and refrigerate for another 15 minutes to set.

For the third layer, double boil semi-sweet milk compound chocolate with 2 tbsp of melted butter until it reaches a velvety texture.

Ensure the second layer is set before pouring the chocolate layer over it; spread evenly and refrigerate for 2 minutes.

Unmold the dessert and remove the butter paper; cut into cubes and serve.
