New Year’s Eve cake, no baking, for a 20 cm cake

For the dough, crumble the biscuits, add the almonds, sugar, salt, and butter, and knead. Spread into the baking dish and chill. For the filling, soften the gelatine in cold water. Mix the cream cheese with the Prosecco and lime juice. Heat the elderflower syrup and dissolve the gelatine in it. Remove from the heat. Take about 3 tablespoons of the cream and mix with the gelatine, then add everything back to the cream and stir. Whip the cream until stiff, gradually adding all three types of sugar. Fold the cream into the cream and spread it on the base. Cover and chill overnight. Remove the cake ring and garnish the cake with lime slices and mint.
