Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Whip the cold liquid cream with the icing sugar until it is nice and firm; keep it chilled.
  2. In a bowl, work the cream cheese with the dulce de leche until the mixture is smooth and even.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture with a spatula, using up-and-down movements.
  4. Pour the cold milk into a deep plate and quickly dip each biscuit so it does not get soggy.
  5. In a rectangular dish, place a layer of dipped biscuits, cover with a layer of cream, then repeat, finishing with the cream.
  6. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings if you like, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, before serving.

Variations and tips

Coffee chocotorta. Add a spoonful of instant coffee to the milk for a more intense, grown-up flavour.

Using what's available here. Oreo-style biscuits are easy to find in supermarkets, and dulce de leche can be bought ready-made in a jar.
