Kinder pingui is a perfect dessert that everyone likes. I mean, who wouldn't love this perfect combination of milky filling between two thin layers of cocoa sponge, all covered in chocolate? And the best part is that it doesn't take a lot of time to make, and you are using ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.

INGREDIENTS:

Biscuit:

3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons plain flour

3 tablespoons powder cocoa
3 eggs (separate yolks from egg whites)

1 baking powder
3 tablespoons water (warm)

Cream:

½ liters of heavy whipping cream
1 powdered gelatin

4 tablespoons water

The chocolate coating:

200 grams of dark chocolate
70 grams of butter
1 tablespoon oil
100 ml of water

Glaze:

100 g dark chocolate
50 g of butter
1 tablespoon oil

PREPARATION:

Biscuit:

Mix egg whites until you get a strong snow. Then mix yolks with sugar until you get a smooth mixture. Add water, sifted flour, baking powder and cocoa. 

Manually mix the egg whites in the mixture.

Half of the mixture spread on a sheet in tray (24 x 37 cm) and bake in a preheated oven at
175 °C (347 F) for about 10 minutes. Biscuit is thin so be careful.

Repeat the process with the rest of the mixture.

Cream:

Prepare gelatin according to the instructions on the package. Whip the cream and add the gelatin.

The chocolate coating:

Cut the chocolate into small pieces, melt the butter, oil and water, and when it binds remove it from the stove and add the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate melts.

Glaze:

Melt the chocolate on steam and then add the oil and butter. Mix until you get a nice shine mixture. 

Stacking the layers:

 Place the first biscuit in a tray and cover with half of the prepared cream.

On the cream, add the chocolate coating and then put everything in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Once cooled, add the other half of the cream and  smooth it out on top.

Then it is time to add the second biscuit. With the freshly made hot chocolate glaze, drizzle the cake all over.

Leave it overnight in the refrigerator.
