No Bake Mini Orange Chocolate Cream Desserts

I made these desserts four different ways, by layering them differently or adding the cocoa powder to different parts of it. All versions wee enjoyed. My friend liked it best with the cocoa powder mixed in with the whipped topping, but enjoyed it both ways. My family all enjoyed both versions too, but liked it best with the cocoa powder mixed in with the Jell-o and Quark mixture.
My husband and I both agreed that having the biscuit on the bottom of the dessert made it have a nicer texture, but it was tasty no matter which way we layered it.
