#54 Torta Chocolina made in Argentina? [ES/EN]

El finde estábamos muy aburridos muuuy y se me ocurrió ponernos a hacer cosas random hasta que la creatividad de hacer algo divertido surja. Empezamos por ordenar el living, después limpiamos la cocina, ordenamos la ropa de los cajones y cuando parecía que no había nada por hacer Dante abre la heladera y me dice- papá me puedo hacer una chocolatada. Esa fue la palabra mágica. Ahí fue que se prendió la lamparita y me acorde que teníamos mascarpone, leche en la heladera y comprando dos ingredientes o 3 más teníamos diversión en puerta.

The weekend we were bored out of our minds and it occurred to me to start doing random things until the creativity to do something fun came up. We started by tidying up the living room, then we cleaned the kitchen, sorted the clothes out of the drawers and when it seemed like there was nothing left to do Dante opened the fridge and said to me - daddy I can make me a chocolatada. That was the magic word. That's when the light bulb went on and I remembered that we had mascarpone, milk in the fridge and by buying two or three more ingredients we had fun at the door.

Agarramos la bolsa de las compras y salimos. Cuando llegamos al super buscamos primero el queso crema, después el dulce de leche y por último la estrella de la torta las chocolinas. Ahí nos encontramos con una gran sorpresa, ahora las chocolinas clásicas de chocolate vienen en 2 variedades más: chocolate amargo y chocolate blanco (hermoso). Volvimos y ya estábamos con ganas de comenzar. Así que buscamos todos los elementos y empezamos con la preparación.

We grabbed the shopping bag and headed out. When we got to the supermarket we looked first for the cream cheese, then the dulce de leche and finally the star of the cake, the chocolates. There we found a big surprise, now the classic chocolate chocolates come in 2 more varieties: bitter chocolate and white chocolate (beautiful). We came back and we were already looking forward to starting. So we looked for all the elements and started with the preparation.

Lo primero que hicimos fue poner los quesos en un bowl teníamos uno pequeño de mascarpone y uno grande de Filadelfia, nosotros usamos el pequeño y la mitad del grande ( hicimos una variación pq generalmente es con filadelfia solamente o alguna marca similar), los mezclamos bien y después agregamos el dulce de leche, nosotros elegimos ese que es el favorito de los chicos. Una vez que se mezclo todo bien integrado tratando de que no queden grupos o que quede lo menos posible para que la mezcla sea homogénea en sabor. Ya tenemos la mitad de la preparación completa. Y como hacía mucho calor teníamos uno de los asistentes que cebaba mate. Se tomaba 2 el y convidaba uno.

The first thing we did was to put the cheeses in a bowl, we had a small mascarpone and a big Philadelphia, we used the small one and half of the big one (we made a variation because it is usually only with Philadelphia or a similar brand), we mixed them well and then we added the dulce de leche, we chose that one because it is the favorite of the kids. Once everything is mixed well, try not to leave any clumps or as little as possible for the mixture to be homogeneous in flavor. We already have half of the preparation complete. And as it was very hot, we had one of the assistants who was a mate drinker. He drank 2 of them and served one.

Lo siguiente que hay que hacer es poner una capa de la mezcla como piso del molde. Yo hubiera preferido ponerle mas mezcla a la base pero lo dirige la chef así que ella tomó las riendas. Luego pasamos las chocolinas por leche o café o algún líquido para humedecerlas y una vez pasadas las pones en el molde que se eligió. Si es rectangular o cuadrado mejor nosotros teníamos una pirex redonda, todos sirven. Armamos la primera capa de chocolinas, mezcla arriba, segunda capa de galletitas, mezcla y así hasta llegar a la altura deseada o hasta agotar los recursos jajajaja. En nuestro caso fue por canutos no agregar lo que había de fila en el final sino la habíamos más grande.

The next thing to do is to put a layer of the mixture as the floor of the mold. I would have preferred to put more mixture on the base but the chef directed it so she took the reins. Then we pass the chocolates through milk or coffee or some liquid to moisten them and once they are wet, we put them in the mold of our choice. If it is rectangular or square, we had a round pyrex, they all work. We assemble the first layer of chocolates, mix on top, second layer of cookies, mix and so on until we reach the desired height or until we run out of resources hahahaha. In our case, it was for the canutos not to add what was in the row at the end, otherwise we would have made it bigger.

Aclaraciones importantes:
@ nosotros usamos leche, es parte de la receta clásica.
@ usamos 2 de las dos variantes de chocolinas. Usamos blancas y chocolate normal.
@ Como dijimos antes usamos mascarpone y original van filadelfia o casancrem.
@ Y consideración a tener en cuenta la receta original es con las galles enteras como nosotros armamos pero también se puede hacer triturar todas las galletitas e ir armando las capas con la galle triturada y mojarlas capa a capa o previamente ya rotas.

Important clarifications:
@ we use milk, it is part of the classic recipe.
We use 2 of the two variants of chocolates. We use white and regular chocolate.
As we said before we use mascarpone and original go philadelphia or casancrem.
@ And consideration to keep in mind that the original recipe is with the whole cookies as we do but you can also crush all the cookies and go assembling the layers with the crushed cookie and dip them layer by layer or previously already broken.

Una vez que terminamos con la preparación heladera o freezer. Nosotros elegimos freezer por unas horas para que la mezcla tome consistencia y no se desarme. Sino heladera y queda más blandita y también queda rica. Es solo una cuestión de gustos. Como alternativa a la hora de servir se le puede tirar cacao en polvo por arriba y si te sobran algunas galletitas se las tritura y pueden ir para decorar. También hay quienes ya combinan un poco de helado por encima de la porción o quienes les tiran chocolate derretido. Opciones más opciones menos son todas válidas a la hora de comer.

Once the preparation is finished, refrigerate or freeze. We choose freezer for a few hours so that the mixture takes consistency and does not fall apart. Otherwise, refrigerate it in the freezer and it will be softer and also tasty. It is just a matter of taste. As an alternative when serving, you can sprinkle cocoa powder on top and if you have some cookies left over, you can crush them and use them to decorate. There are also those who combine a little ice cream on top of the portion or those who add melted chocolate. Options plus and minus options are all valid when it comes to eating.

Espero que lo hayan disfrutado y si tienen alguna duda de la receta leo el comentario y les respondo.

I hope you enjoyed it and if you have any questions about the recipe I will read the comment and answer them.

Hi @extranio

We see that you have brought a recipe to the community, a classic of Argentine gastronomy, however, we will make some observations:

  • Every recipe, even if it is simple, must be accompanied by the quantities of the ingredients, which we do not see here.

  • As far as we can see, the account is yours, not the children's, so we suggest that in future posts, you be the one who makes the recipes.

  • Avoid being shirtless in photos of recipe posts published in this community.

Keep these observations in mind for your future posts on Foodies Bee Hive.

Thank you.
