Chocotorta
(Argentinian Chocolate Cake)
Translated as chocolate cake, this no-bake Argentinian dessert was influenced by Italian cuisine and modeled on the famous Italian tiramisu. It is made with three Argentinian staple ingredients: chocolate biscuits, dulce de leche, and cream cheese.
The cookies are softened in milk and layered with a combination of cream cheese and dulce de leche. The shapes of chocotorta can vary, while the biscuits can be soaked with chocolate milk, coffee, or even coffee liqueur. The most common theory about its origin says that it was invented as a part of a marketing campaign designed to promote Chocolinas chocolate cookies, and the recipe was included in the packaging.
Chocotorta is rarely found in restaurants and remains a novel dessert outside of Argentina.
Chocotorta Authentic recipe
Today, a classic chocotorta is composed of chocolate cookies dipped in coffee and a cream of dulce de leche and cream cheese, as is the case in this recipe. For a more pronounced coffee taste, use unsweetened coffee if desired. Also, take into account that the cake needs lots of refrigeration time.
