Bolo Gelado de Bolacha Maria com Chocolate - Ice cream cake with Maria cookies and chocolate

Here is another recipe from my GrandMother's cookbook. As I went along I was tasting so to rectify the amounts of sugar as I have noticed the palette from years ago.

INGREDIENTS

8oz of unsweetened chocolate
2 tbsp of milk
7 eggs
750 gr heavy cream
1.25 cups granulated sugar (divided in half)
2 envelopes of unflavored gelatine dissolved hot water
100 gr unsalted butter
1 package of Maria cookies

DIRECTIONS

1. Melt the chocolate with the milk in a double boiler
2. Beat the egg whites to peak
3. In a large bowl beat the egg yolks with the remainder sugar 
4. Once the chocolate is melted add the melted gelatine then it slowly the the egg yolks and keep on mixing
5. Add the egg whites to the chocolate and  fold continuously
6. Beat the heavy cream with the rest of the sugar so to create whipped cream 
7. In a round baking form add the crumbled cookies then the whipped cream then the chocolate and so on until no more
