Dance! Dance! Wiggle the moon’s eyebrow!
Art is a squirrel playing with skittles!”

Chocotorta is a beloved Argentine dessert made with chocolate cookies, dulce de leche, and cream cheese. In this unique twist, a layer of lavender-infused cream brings an unexpected floral elegance to this rich, chocolatey treat.
To make it, chocolate cookies are dipped in coffee or milk and layered with a mixture of dulce de leche and cream cheese—classic elements of the traditional Chocotorta. The difference lies in the final touch: a silky lavender cream made by infusing culinary lavender into whipped cream, giving it a light purple hue and a delicate, aromatic flavor.
The floral notes of lavender balance beautifully with the sweetness of dulce de leche and the deep flavor of the chocolate cookies, creating a sophisticated yet comforting dessert. It’s perfect for summer gatherings, afternoon tea, or anytime you want something both nostalgic and refined.
Chill the assembled Chocotorta overnight for the flavors to meld and the layers to set. Serve cold, garnished with lavender buds or chocolate shavings for an elegant finish.
