Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 0 minutes (the cake does not require baking)
Total time: 1 hour and 30 minutes (including cooling time)
Number of servings: 12

Ingredients

For the cake base:
- 300 g biscuits (preferably plain, such as digestive biscuits)
- 200 g walnut kernels (coarsely chopped)
- 200 g butter or margarine (melted)

For cream 1:
- 200 g liquid cream (whipped until firm)
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 5 tablespoons blueberry jam (or any other fruit, to taste)
- 1 packet (10 g) gelatin (hydrated)

For cream 2:
- 200 g liquid cream (whipped until firm)
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 5 tablespoons chestnut puree (or other fruit puree)
- 1 tablespoon decaffeinated coffee (optional)

For the jelly:
- 3 tablespoons jam (preferably berry)
- 200 ml water
- 2 packets of dessert gelatin

For decoration:
- 300 g chocolate oat biscuits (to add a delicious contrast)

Instructions

1. Preparing the base:
Start by crushing the biscuits and walnuts. Use a food processor or place them in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Add the crushed biscuits and nuts to a large bowl. Pour the melted butter over the mixture and mix well until you achieve a moist and homogeneous composition.

Practical tip: Make sure the butter is not too hot, so it does not melt the biscuits. You can also use margarine, but butter will provide a richer flavor.

2. Forming the cake base:
Take a springform cake pan (24 cm in diameter) and line it with baking paper or grease it with a little butter. Spread the biscuit mixture evenly on the bottom of the pan, pressing down firmly with a spatula to form a compact base. Arrange the chocolate oat biscuits around the edge of the pan, with the chocolate side facing outwards, pressing gently to secure them.

3. Preparing the first cream:
In a bowl, whip the liquid cream until firm. Add the sour cream and blueberry jam, gently mixing with a spatula. Hydrate the gelatin in 100 ml of cold water, then melt it in a double boiler. Once it cools slightly, pour the gelatin in a thin stream into the whipped cream mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

Tip: Make sure the gelatin is not too hot when you add it, so as not to ruin the texture of the cream.

4. Assembling the first layer:
Pour the whipped cream over the biscuit base and level it with a spatula. Place the cake in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.

5. Preparing the second cream:
Repeat the process for the second cream: whip the cream and sour cream, add the chestnut puree and decaffeinated coffee. Hydrate the gelatin and melt it in a double boiler, then add it to the whipped cream. Mix gently.

6. Assembling the second layer:
After the first layer has set, carefully pour the chestnut cream on top. Level it and leave the cake in the refrigerator for an hour to set well.

7. Preparing the jelly:
In a saucepan, mix the jam with water and dessert gelatin. Place the saucepan over low heat and stir continuously until it reaches boiling point. Once boiling, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

8. Finalizing the cake:
Pour the warm jelly over the set cream, from the center to the edges, thus avoiding the formation of air bubbles. Let the cake sit in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes until the jelly is set.

Serving and useful tips
Once the cake is ready, carefully remove it from the pan and decorate it with the oat biscuits. You can serve it plain or with a dollop of whipped cream on top for added flavor. This cake pairs perfectly with fruit tea or a flavored coffee, offering a pleasant contrast between sweet and bitter.

Nutritional information
This cake is a good source of energy, thanks to the nuts and biscuits, while the blueberry jam and chestnut puree add a note of natural fruit, rich in vitamins. Each serving may contain approximately 300 calories, depending on the ingredients used.

Possible variations
If you want to personalize the recipe, you can replace the blueberry jam with raspberry or strawberry jam. Additionally, instead of chestnut puree, you can use pumpkin puree or even a combination of chocolate and nuts for a more intense flavor.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use other types of biscuits?
Of course! Cocoa biscuits or oat biscuits can add a different note to your cake.

How can I make this cake less sweet?
You can reduce the amount of jam used and choose a sugar-free cream.

What is the best way to store the cake?
