Base: In a large bowl, we start preparing the base by mixing the biscuits. They can be crushed using a food processor to achieve a fine texture or, if you prefer, they can be broken manually into small pieces. We add cocoa, milk, and melted butter, ensuring that all ingredients are well incorporated. It is important that the butter is warm so that it mixes easily with the other ingredients. Once we have obtained a homogeneous mixture, we transfer the mixture into a springform cake pan. We use the back of a spoon to press down and level the mixture, ensuring that the base is even and compact. Once finished, we place the pan in the fridge to set, preferably for at least 30 minutes.
Cream: We move on to preparing the cream cheese, which will add a delicious touch to our cake. In a clean bowl, we mix the ricotta with vanilla sugar, gently mixing until the sugar is completely dissolved. Here, it is essential to use quality ricotta to achieve a smooth and tasty cream. We then add the liquid cream, ensuring it is cold, to achieve an airy texture. If you have chosen pre-sweetened cream, you will have an advantage, but don’t forget to adjust the amount of sugar according to taste. We mix the ingredients at a low speed until combined, then gradually increase the speed until we achieve a homogeneous, fluffy, and consistent cream. Finally, we add the cream stabilizer, continuing to mix for another 1-2 minutes, until the cream becomes firm and compact.
Once the cream is ready, we pour it over the cooled base, leveling it with a spatula to achieve a perfect surface. To add a splash of color and flavor, we decorate the cake with strawberry jam or fresh fruits like slices of strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries, which will provide a pleasant contrast to the cream cheese. Then, we let the cake cool for 3-4 hours, during which the flavors will combine and the texture will set perfectly. After the cooling time has passed, you can remove it from the pan and cut it into generous slices. Serve confidently, and each bite will be a true feast! Enjoy your meal!
