Ingredients

Before we start preparing the butterless Dutch oven cake, let’s review the necessary ingredients:

• 200 g cornstarch cookie
• 100g unsalted margarine (we will use margarine as a substitute for butter)
• 200ml of fresh nata
• 200 g cream cheese
• 200 g melted semi-sweet chocolate
• 100 g of sugar
• 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Now that we have all the ingredients available, let’s go step by step to prepare this delicious Dutch Cake without Butter:

1. Grind the cookies:  Place the cornstarch cookies in a plastic bag and grind them into a fine flour. You can also use a food processor for this task.
2. Mix with margarine:  In a bowl, mix the melted unsalted margarine with the cookie flour. Stir well until you obtain a homogeneous dough.
3. Line the mould:  In a mould with a removable bottom, spread the biscuit dough and margarine on the bottom, pressing down to make it compact. Place the mould in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
4. Prepare the filling:  In a bowl, beat the fresh cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
5. Mix the remaining ingredients:  In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, melted dark chocolate, sugar and vanilla essence until the mixture is homogeneous.
6. Add the cream:  Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese and chocolate mixture. Stir gently to maintain the airy texture.
7. Assembling the cake:  Remove the mould from the fridge and pour the filling onto the biscuit base. Spread it evenly.
8. To Chill:  Cover the pan with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
9. Serving:  Remove the cake from the pan, cut into slices and serve. You can decorate with chocolate shavings or fruit if you wish.

Now you have a delicious butter-free Dutch cake ready to enjoy. Best of all, this version doesn’t sacrifice the flavor and texture of the original dessert, making it an amazing option for those looking for healthier alternatives.

Additional Tips

• Chocolate variations:  If you prefer a sweeter cake, you can opt for milk chocolate or white chocolate instead of dark chocolate. The choice of chocolate will influence the final taste of the cake.
• Add fruit:  For an extra touch of freshness, you can add strawberries, raspberries or citrus fruits to your cake. Fruits pair perfectly with the creaminess of the filling.
• Chocolate Sauce:  If you want to give your cake even more flavour, make a chocolate sauce to serve on top. Simply melt the chocolate with a little cream and sugar in a bain-marie until you obtain a glossy syrup.
