Pinagmulan

Recipe ni Argentine confectioners · 🏺 Traditional · Dulce de leche in everything, and a national argument about which alfajor is best that has been running for a century.

Argentina · the birthday cake with no oven — An ownerless traditional dessert, so no cook is credited. The cited article confirms chocotorta — a portmanteau of 'choco' for Chocolinas and 'torta' — as a typical no-bake dessert of Argentina made with chocolate biscuits, specifically the Chocolinas brand produced by Bagley, soaked with milk or coffee and layered with a mixture of dulce de leche and cream cheese. The one-second dip, the layer count, timings and quantities are this book's own.

Mga hakbang

Beat the cream cheese smooth, then beat in the dulce de leche a spoonful at a time until it is one glossy, spreadable cream.
Pour the milk or coffee into a shallow dish. Dip each biscuit in for one second only and lay it in a 20 × 25 cm dish, covering the base.
💡 One second in the milk. Chocolinas are designed to collapse — hold one in for three seconds and it will be in two pieces before it reaches the dish.
Spread a third of the cream over, then another layer of dipped biscuits, and repeat — three layers of biscuit and three of cream, finishing with cream.
Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours, ideally overnight. Dust with cocoa before serving and cut with a hot knife.

💡 Mga tip

Coffee instead of milk makes it a grown-up version and cuts the sweetness, which this cake genuinely needs.
It is better on the second day and does not freeze — the cream splits.
