Ingredients

For the cream:

500 g sour cream
300 g sweetened condensed milk
250 ml whipping cream
1 packet of gelatin
150 ml water
1 cup of strong coffee (for soaking the biscuits)
long ladyfingers

For the topping:

200 ml whipping cream
160 g dark or milk chocolate

Preparation procedure

Cream preparation: Let the gelatin swell in 150 ml of cold water and then gently heat it while stirring constantly until it is completely dissolved (do not boil). Whip the whipping cream to stiff peaks. In another bowl, mix the sour cream with the condensed milk and fold in the whipped cream. Stir the dissolved gelatin into the finished cream.
Assembling the dessert: Prepare a rectangular pan and line it with ladyfingers soaked in a cup of strong coffee. Spread half of the cream onto the ladyfingers and spread evenly. Continue with a second layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and the remaining cream. Smooth the surface and prepare the topping.
Chocolate glaze: Bring the cream almost to a boil, remove from the heat and stir in the broken chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and a smooth glaze forms. Pour the glaze over the surface of the dessert and spread evenly.
