Method

  1. 1

    Take the cream cheese out to reach room temperature well in advance. Remove the mud cake from its mold while frozen and place it on a serving platter. Place just the ring of a springform pan (⌀ approx. 18 cm), lined with strips of baking paper, around the cake.

  2. 2

    Whip the cream. Mix the vanilla sugar into the room-temperature cream cheese.

  3. 3

    Melt the chocolate on low heat in the microwave (350 W for about 30 seconds at a time, stirring occasionally) or in a double boiler.

  4. 4

    Mix the slightly cooled chocolate into the cream cheese mixture. Finally, fold in the whipped cream in a few batches.

  5. 5

    Pour about half of the mixture over the mud cake in the pan and press it even with a spoon. Add the rest of the filling and smooth the surface. Let it set in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours.

  6. 6

    Carefully remove the cake from the pan. Remove the strips of baking paper. Decorate with raspberries and chopped chocolate.
