Chocotorta (a portmanteau of "chocolate" and "torta", Spanish for "cake") is a typical no-bake dessert of Argentina that is made with chocolate biscuits or cookies—specifically the Chocolinas brand produced by Bagley—that are soaked with milk or coffee and layered with a mixture of dulce de leche and cream cheese.

The creation of the recipe is attributed to the advertising creative Marité Mabragaña, who around 1982 devised a joint campaign between two brands: Bagley's Chocolinas cookies and Mendicrim cream cheese, then owned by the Mendizábal company.

[1] Due to the ease and practicality of its preparation, the chocotorta became a success and over the years has come to be described as Argentina's most popular dessert and a cultural icon of the country, especially associated with birthday celebrations.

[2][3] Despite its ubiquity in Argentine culture, the chocotorta is also known for the rejection it has provoked in several well-known figures of the local gastronomy, who claim that the simple preparation should not be considered a cake nor a representative of national confectionery.

[3][4] There is also a coconut biscuit version made with another Bagley's brand, Coquitas, thus known as "Coquitorta".
