3. Preparing the Cream Filling:
In a saucepan, heat 100g of hot cream and 35g of butter together over low heat until the butter melts. Stir in the sugar until it dissolves completely.
Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, beat the remaining 200g of cream and 600g of cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Once the butter and cream mixture has cooled, add it to the cream cheese mixture and beat until combined.
Spread the cream filling evenly over the cooled meringue layer.
Melt 30g of chocolate in a microwave or using a double boiler. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cream layer for decoration.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours to allow the cream to firm up and the flavors to meld together.
4. Assembling and Serving:
After the cake has chilled, slice it into squares or rectangles.
Serve chilled, garnished with extra walnuts or chocolate shavings if desired.
Enjoy every bite of this rich, decadent dessert!
