Ingredients: For the Biscuit:
- 4 eggs
- 120g sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 80g flour
- 40g cocoa powder
- 5g baking powder
- Milk for soaking the baked biscuit
For the Cream:
- 250g mascarpone cheese
- 300ml heavy cream (33% fat)
- 10g gelatin
- 50ml water
- 150g powdered sugar
- 20g honey
For the Glaze:
- 200g dark chocolate (80% cocoa content)
- 40g butter
Instructions:
For the Biscuit:
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar and a pinch of salt using a mixer until the mixture triples in volume. The mixture should be able to hold a pattern on the surface when you lift the whisk.
- Gradually add the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder to the egg mixture, gently folding with a spatula to maintain the airy texture.
- Pour the batter into a parchment-lined baking mold, spreading it evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 15-20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool.
For the Cream:
- Sprinkle gelatin over the water and let it swell.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until thickened, then add the powdered sugar, mascarpone cheese, and honey. Continue to beat until smooth and well combined.
- Melt the swollen gelatin in a water bath or microwave, ensuring it does not boil. Quickly mix the melted gelatin into the cream mixture using a mixer to prevent lumps from forming.
Assembling the Kinder Milk Slice:
- Slice the cooled biscuit into two equal layers. Soak each layer lightly with milk.
- Spread the cream filling evenly over one layer of the biscuit, then place the second layer on top, pressing gently.
- For the glaze, melt the dark chocolate with the butter in a double boiler. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the assembled biscuit, spreading it evenly.
- Refrigerate the assembled slice until the glaze and cream have set.
Once set, cut into individual portions and enjoy the delicious, homemade Kinder Milk Slice.
Enjoy!
