Necessary Ingredients:

For the base:
- 6 fresh eggs
- 6 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 packet of chocolate Creme Ole

For the cream:
- 350 ml of liquid cream
- 150 ml of cold milk
- 1 packet of vanilla Creme Ole

For the glaze:
- 100 g of good quality chocolate
- 70 ml of liquid cream
- 30 g of butter

Step by Step:

1. Preparing the base:
Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. Use a large bowl to beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed until they become frothy. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to mix until you achieve a shiny and firm meringue. It is important that the bowl and the mixer blades are completely clean to achieve perfect foam.

2. Incorporating the yolks:
Add one yolk at a time, mixing gently after each addition. This step is essential to maintain the aeration of the mixture. Finally, fold in the packet of chocolate Creme Ole, mixing with a spatula to avoid losing air.

3. Baking the base:
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Pour the mixture into a baking tray lined with baking paper and smooth the surface. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the base is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. After baking, let the base cool completely.

4. Preparing the cream:
In another bowl, whip the liquid cream until it becomes firm. In another container, combine the cold milk with the packet of vanilla Creme Ole, mixing well. Fold this mixture into the whipped cream, gently mixing with a spatula until you obtain a smooth and airy cream.

5. Assembling:
Cut the cooled base into two equal layers. Place the first layer on a serving platter and spread a portion of the cream evenly. Cover with the second layer of base and apply the remaining cream on top and on the sides. Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.

6. Preparing the glaze:
In a small saucepan, bring the liquid cream to a boil, then add the broken chocolate into small pieces and the butter. Stir until melted and homogeneous. Let the glaze cool slightly, then pour it evenly over the chilled dessert.

7. Serving:
Once the glaze has set, cut Krem a la Krem into portions and serve with a drizzle of caramel sauce or fresh seasonal fruits for a delicious contrast.

Practical Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a perfect emulsion.
- You can experiment with different flavors for the cream by adding a few drops of rum or orange essence.
- The glaze can also be made with white chocolate or dark chocolate, depending on preferences.
