Remove and whisk to melt the chocolate.
Add the cream and butter and microwave again for a minute. Keep it aside.
For the Malai Sandesh
Take the chhana after kneading and mix with sugar.
Heat a nonstick pan and cook this chhana for 4 to 5 mins. We are not supposed to cook for long as chhana can turn crumble.

Notes
All the layers will be very soft to handle, so refrigerate till it becomes little firm to handle.Having the dark chocolate ganache spread is optional, however, I strongly recommend.
