Is there anything you can do, if you cookie leftovers? Yes I know…. cookies leftover, haha. Good one ;P Something like that is not happening – at least not in my world. But let’s assume there are cookies and nobody has eaten them yet (hypothetically). What can you do? Well… Very easy solution: Make a Cookie Torte! Bazinga! ;P
I was always a big fan of recycling. I am not talking about plastics and paper right now (a nice neighbor does this for our house…) – I am talking about recycling of food! Everybody knows this situation – you prepare dinner, a huge pile of noodles, rice or whatever cause you are hungry. At the end you have like another 1-2 servings left for the next day to make another lunch or dinner. Most of the time the “recycled” dish is better than the original one – for a simple reason: I add most of the time cheese and bacon – that improves everything :P
This “torte” (cake) can be made without bacon and cheese – don’t worry ;) It is basically a adapted version of an all-time classic: Tiramisù! I went through the Kitchen Stories videos the other day and found a video on how to make a cake like this one… do you remember Kitchen Stories? I made some videos with them last year which you can find on my YouTube Channel and of course in the Kitchen Stories App (Download Link) – this is where you can find the video for this kind of cake. I adapted their recipe slightly and used fresh brewed espresso instead of the instant espresso powder – just as you would do for a Tiramisù. The result is delicious! So in case you ever have cookies at hand, you should try this one here. Instead of the chocolate chip cookies you can also use Double Chocolate Cookies or similar – just not the fancy salted stuff (e.g. salted caramel)… that does not fit here :P
Happy Cookie Friday!
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
1 2/3 cups (400g) heavy cream
1 1/2 cups (345g) mascarpone
1/2 cup (100g) sugar
2 tbsp. cocoa powder
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup (60ml) fresh brewed espresso, cooled
about 12 chocolate chip cookies
For the decoration:
3.5 oz. (100g) heavy cream
1 tsp. confectioner’s sugar
chocolate shavings
400g Schlagsahne
345g Mascarpone
100g Zucker
2 EL Kakaopulver
1 TL Vanille Zucker
60ml frisch aufgebrühter Espresso
ca. 12 Chocolate Chip Cookies
Für die Dekoration:
100g Schlagsahne
1 TL Puderzucker
Schokoladenraspel
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. Line a tall 7 inch (18cm) or regular 8 inch (20cm) springform tin with baking parchment. Spread a thin layer of cream on the bottom and sides of the tin. Place a layer of cookies on top of the cream – try to get an even layer, break the cookies and use pieces to fill empty spaces. Drizzle the cookies with some of the espresso, then add another (not too thick) layer of cream and repeat until the tin is almost full. You have to end with a layer of cream and smooth out the top. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 10-12 hours.
3. Before serving add the heavy cream and confectioner’s sugar to a tall bowl and mix on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fill into a piping bag. Set aside.
4. Take out the cake and run with a warm knife around the cake inside the springform tin to loosen it. Place on a serving plate. Smooth out the sides and top with a spatula if necessary. Pipe small swirls of whipped cream on top of the cake and sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
2. Eine hohe 18cm (7 inch) oder normal hohe 20cm (8 inch) Springform mit Backpapier auslegen. Eine dünne Schicht der Creme auf dem Boden und an den Seiten verteilen. Eine Schicht Cookies auf der Creme verteilen. Die Schicht sollte gleichmäßig sein, Cookies in passende Stücke brechen und damit Lücken füllen. Die Cookie-Schicht mit etwas Espresso tränken und dann die nächste Schicht Creme darauf verteilen. Das Schichten so lange wiederholen, bis die Form fast voll ist – mit einer Schicht Creme enden, glattstreichen und dann mit Klarsichtfolie abdecken. Den Kuchen für mindestens 10-12 Stunden in den Kühlschrank stellen.
3. Vor dem Servieren die Sahne für die Deko mit dem Puderzucker aufschlagen und dann in einen Spritzbeutel füllen. Zur Seite legen.
4. Den Kuchen vorsichtig aus der Form lösen – geht am Besten, wenn man einmal mit einem warmen Messer rund um den Kuchen geht. Den Kuchen auf eine Servierplatte setzen und die Seiten ggf. mit einer Palette glätten. Mit der Sahne kleine Tupfen auf den Kuchen aufspritzen und mit Schokoladenraspeln dekorieren.
