Description
A rich and elegant no-bake dessert layered with creamy mascarpone filling, cocoa biscuits, cherry pie filling, and finished with a silky dark chocolate ganache. Perfectly chilled for a sliceable and indulgent treat.
Ingredients
250 g mascarpone
200 g cream cheese
24 g whipped cream stabilizer (3 sachets)
50 g granulated sugar
8 g vanilla sugar (1 sachet)
500 ml heavy cream
cocoa tea biscuits
milk, for dipping
430 g cherry pie filling
100 ml heavy cream (for ganache)
100 g dark chocolate
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine mascarpone, cream cheese, whipped cream stabilizer, granulated sugar, and vanilla sugar. Mix briefly until smooth.
- Gradually add the heavy cream and continue mixing until the mixture becomes thick and stiff.
- Quickly dip cocoa tea biscuits in milk and arrange them in a 28 x 18 cm dish to form the first layer.
- Spread a portion of the cream mixture evenly over the biscuits, then add a layer of cherry pie filling.
- Dip more biscuits in milk and place them on top. Repeat layering with cream, smoothing it out.
- Finish with another layer of dipped biscuits and a thin final layer of cream on top.
- Heat the heavy cream for the ganache until just about to boil, then pour it over chopped dark chocolate. Let sit briefly, then stir until smooth.
- Pour the ganache over the dessert and spread evenly.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight until firm.
- Slice and garnish with whipped cream, chopped chocolate, or cherries before serving.
Notes
Substitute cherry pie filling with raspberry or strawberry for variation.
Add a thin layer of chocolate spread for a deeper chocolate flavor.
Use whipped topping instead of part of the cream for a lighter version.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Do not reheat; serve chilled.
For clean slices, use a sharp knife and wipe between cuts.
Freezing is possible but may slightly affect texture.
