Paradise Fanny Cake

To prepare a delicious and refined dessert, we start with the biscuit base. The first step is to crush the ladyfingers as finely as possible, using a food processor or a rolling pin, according to preferences. Once we achieve a fine texture, we add honey and soft butter, mixing all the ingredients until the mixture becomes homogeneous and slightly sticky. This mixture will transform into the tart base of our dessert.

After we have made the mixture, we take a circular mold with a removable ring and spread the biscuit mixture into an even layer, making sure it is well pressed with a spoon at the bottom of the mold. We will dress the edges of the mold with biscuits so that the dessert has an attractive appearance. Once we are done, we place the mold in the fridge to set slightly, allowing the biscuits to gain a firmer texture.

Next, we take care of the cream cheese. We whip the cream until it thickens well, being careful not to overbeat it, so it doesn't turn into butter. While whipping, we gradually add the syrup, continuing to whip to integrate the flavors. Separately, we whip the cheese, which should be well chilled, and add it to the whipped cream. This will give the dessert a creamy consistency and a refined taste.

An important element of the recipe is gelatin. We hydrate it in 100 ml of cold water, letting it absorb the liquid for a few minutes. After that, we melt it in a bain-marie, being careful not to boil it, and add it to our cream, mixing well to ensure it disperses evenly. Once the cream is ready, we carefully pour it over the ladyfinger base, and on top, we can add cherries, either fresh or from a compote, for an extra touch of flavor.

After arranging the cherries, we chill the dessert for at least two hours. This cooling time will allow the gelatin to set and will help form a perfect texture. In the meantime, we prepare the jelly from the cherry syrup. We mix the syrup with the gelling powder and put it on the heat, stirring continuously until it reaches boiling point. Once the jelly is ready, we let it cool slightly before carefully pouring it over the set cream, ensuring that the cherries are evenly covered.

Our dessert needs to chill for about 30 minutes more, so the jelly can stabilize. When ready, we cut the dessert into generous slices and get ready to serve this delicacy. Enjoy your meal!
