Chocolate cream cake, vegan idea.

The chocolate cream is simple to do, but to get the right texture for the topping of the cake required doses and suitable ingredients. After several attempts I came to the consistency, in my opinion, perfect. This cream is an excellent base to add chopped hazelnuts or almonds instead of flour or coconut flakes, or chunks of pears in syrup; in short, as always there is no limit to the imagination.
