Instead of chocolinas you can use any chocolate biscuits, such as: digestive chocolate biscuits, chocolate petit beurre, separated chocolate cookies, butter cookies, simple chocolate biscuits or any other chocolate cookies that you can find in your local store.

What can we use instead of cream cheese?

Cream cheese is a common ingredient in many recipes, from salads to desserts and cakes. As well in this chocotorta recipe. Cream cheese is a main ingredient in this recipe, and I don't recommend replacing it if you don't have to. But what if you don't have any cream cheese on hand?

It's creamy, rich, and slightly sweet, making it perfect for adding to a variety of dishes including chocotorta. Sour cream is another good option, as it has a similar texture and flavor to cream cheese, but remember that sour cream is not solid as cream cheese, so you cream might be a bit liquidly. You can also try using ricotta cheese, which is milder and a bit lighter than cream cheese. You also can use some white cheese spread, but make sure it's not the liquid kind. So don't fret if you don't have any cream cheese on hand - with these replacements, you can make a perfect cake.
