Jijona Nougat and Cookie Cake with a Touch of Chocolate
Ingredients
For the Base:
150 g Digestive or Maria-type biscuits
50 g melted butter
2 tablespoons cocoa powder (optional, for an extra chocolate flavor)
For the Nougat Cream:
150 g crushed Jijona nougat
200 ml whipping cream
250 ml milk
1 sachet neutral curd
50 g sugar (optional, adjust according to the sweetness of the nougat)
To Decorate (optional):
Dark or milk chocolate shavings
Nougat pieces
Liquid caramel or flaked almonds
Instructions
Prepare the Cookie Base: Crush the cookies until you obtain a fine powder. Mix with melted butter and, if desired, add cocoa powder to enhance the flavor. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan, forming an even layer. Refrigerate while you prepare the cream. 
Cook the Nougat Cream: In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the cream, milk, and crushed nougat. Stir constantly until the nougat is completely melted. Add sugar if you prefer a sweeter touch. 
Add the Curd: Dissolve the envelope of curd in a little cold milk and add it to the hot mixture. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens slightly. 
Assemble the Cake: Pour the nougat cream over the biscuit base carefully to avoid breaking it. 
Chill: Let cool at room temperature and then refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely set. 
Decorate and Serve: Decorate with chocolate shavings, nougat pieces, or flaked almonds before serving. Carefully unmold and cut into portions.
Extra Tip: Serve this cake with a cup of coffee or a sweet wine to complement the flavors. An elegant and traditional dessert that everyone will love!
