Ingredients:
- Cinnamon biscuits
- Milk, as needed for soaking biscuits
- 200ml whipping cream
- 150g mascarpone or cream cheese
- 2-3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Vanilla paste, to taste
- For the topping:
- 120g chocolate
- 40ml hot whipping cream
Instructions:
- Briefly dip cinnamon biscuits in milk just enough to soak them without becoming too soggy. Arrange a layer of these biscuits at the bottom of your serving dish.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, combine the mascarpone (or cream cheese) with powdered sugar and vanilla paste until smooth.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined and creamy.
- Spread a generous layer of the cream mixture over the biscuit base.
- Repeat the layers if desired, or according to the size of your dish.
- For the chocolate topping, place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot whipping cream over the chocolate and let it sit for a minute before stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Pour the ganache over the top layer of the cream mixture and spread evenly.
- Allow the cake to set a bit in the fridge (if you have a few extra minutes) before serving, or serve immediately if preferred.
