About Chocotorta

Paulina Cocina offers the traditional chocotorta filling of equal parts dulce de leche and cream cheese. Chocolate biscuits dipped in milk separate the filling into layers in a serving dish.

The cake sets in the refrigerator before cocoa powder and grated semisweet chocolate finish the surface. The biscuits soften while the filling keeps the dessert creamy and easy to portion.

Optional meringues, walnuts or almonds add crunch between the layers. Paulina also offers a chocolate ganache topping or a scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside a slice.
