Dessert with mascarpone
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. This mascarpone dessert was my first time making. You know, I absolutely loved that there's no need to bake cake layers. It saves a lot of effort and time. Plus, this cake is especially refreshing in hot weather since it doesn't require baking. It's served cold, like jelly. Overall, I'll definitely make this treat again. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

Step 1
We start with the base. We'll make it from cookies. There are different ways to handle the cookies. Some prefer to break them by hand and crush them in a mortar, others grind them in a meat grinder or blender. The main thing is to finely crush them into crumbs. Melt the butter and add the cocoa powder.

Step 2
Mix the crushed cookies with cocoa powder. Add the melted butter mixed with two tablespoons of milk to the same mixture. Stir thoroughly until you get a smooth, pliable mass. Take a baking pan, transfer the mixture into it and press it down firmly. Be sure to make the edges higher! The size of my pan is 26 cm. Place the resulting crust into the refrigerator.

Step 3
Let's move on to the cream. We will need marshmallow. Since this is an American dish, everything should be done by the rules. Combine 200 grams of marshmallow with 250 grams of mascarpone. I use a microwave to heat them. If you don't have one, warm the ingredients to a creamy consistency using a stove or oven.

Step 4
Heat the cream in 2 stages, 2 minutes each at 800 power. Stir in between. The ingredients should melt and fully combine, turning into a smooth, creamy mixture. Then, pour in all the milk and beat with a mixer. Optionally, you can add lemon juice or citric acid. Add the juice only to the cream when it's not hot, otherwise it may curdle.

Step 5
Remove the pan with the cookies and pour the creamy mixture exactly into the center, leaving raised edges of the crust around. The mixture should set enough so that the cheesecake can easily be removed from the pan later. Place the cake in the refrigerator until the cream is almost completely set. Then, take the jam syrup and carefully drip it onto the cake's surface. You can create any design you like.

Next, take a toothpick and trace along the droplets, drawing circle after circle. This should create patterns with hearts like these. Place in the refrigerator until completely set. Then, remove the cheesecake from the mold and place it on a serving plate.
