Necessary ingredients:

*For the base:*
- 250 g biscuits (choose cocoa biscuits for a more intense flavor)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 1 tablespoon cocoa
- 80 g butter
- 100 ml water
- 1-2 drops of rum essence (optional)

*For the cream:*
- 250 g sweet cow cheese (choose a quality cheese for better taste)
- 250 g mascarpone
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- Brown sugar to taste (usually 2-4 tablespoons)

*For the gelatin:*
- Gelatin (according to the instructions on the packet)
- Fruits (currants, raspberries, or any seasonal fruit of your choice)

Step by step to achieve a perfect result:

1. Preparing the base:
Start with the biscuits. Place them in a plastic bag or between two sheets of baking paper and crush them with a rolling pin. This method will help you avoid mess and achieve an even texture. The crushed biscuits should resemble fine crumbs.

2. Preparing the mixture:
In a saucepan, add the butter cut into cubes, water, sugar, vanilla sugar, and cocoa. Heat them over low heat, stirring constantly, until the butter completely melts. Once everything is homogenized, add the rum essence. This will add a subtle note of flavor.

3. Combining the ingredients:
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the crushed biscuits. Mix until the biscuits are well incorporated into the butter mixture. You will obtain a compact mass of biscuits, which will form the base of the tart.

4. Forming the base:
Line a tart pan with baking paper. Transfer the biscuit mixture into the pan and press it well on the bottom and sides to create a solid base. Then, let it cool for about 30 minutes to firm up.

5. Preparing the cream:
In a bowl, mash the sweet cow cheese until creamy. Add the mascarpone, vanilla sugar, and brown sugar, adjusting the sweetness to your personal taste. Mix well until you obtain a smooth and fine cream.

6. Assembling the tart:
Once the base has cooled, pour the cheese cream over it, smoothing the surface well.

7. Adding the fruits:
If using canned or frozen currants, ensure they are well drained of juice. Place them evenly over the cheese cream.

8. Preparing the gelatin:
According to the instructions on the packet, prepare the gelatin. Once it is ready, carefully pour it over the fruits, ensuring they are evenly covered.

9. Final cooling:
Leave the tart in the fridge for about 2 hours or until the gelatin has completely set.

10. Serving:
When the gelatin has set, the tart is ready! Cut it into portions and enjoy each slice alongside a cup of tea or a refreshing drink. It’s a versatile dessert that pairs perfectly with fresh lemonade or a sweet white wine.

Useful tips:
- You can experiment with different types of biscuits, such as butter biscuits or even whole-grain biscuits for a healthier taste.
- If you prefer a less sweet tart, adjust the amount of sugar in the cream.
- Depending on the fruits available, you can opt for raspberries, blackberries, or even peach slices.
