- 100 g sugar
- 2 tablespoons semolina
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 50 g cocoa (one packet)
- 1 packet (16 g) vanilla sugar
- 1 packet baking powder (10 g)
- 100 ml oil
- 100 ml milk
- A pinch of salt

For the cream:
- 400 ml liquid cream
- 1 cream stabilizer
- 150 ml condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon vanilla essence

For the glaze:
- 100 g milk chocolate

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preparing the bases:
Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar and vanilla sugar. Continue mixing until the mixture becomes white and fluffy. It's essential to incorporate air into the mixture to achieve a fluffy base.

2. Adding dry ingredients:
Gradually add the flour, sprinkling it in to avoid lumps. Add the semolina and cocoa, mixing gently. Don't forget to add the baking powder, which you can activate with a few drops of vinegar. This trick will not change the dessert's taste but will help achieve a lighter texture.

3. Incorporating liquid ingredients:
Gradually add the milk, oil, and honey. Mix gently until everything is well incorporated.

4. Beating the egg whites:
In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until you get a firm foam. This step is crucial to giving the bases a light texture. Add the beaten egg whites to the yolk mixture, gently folding with a silicone spatula to avoid losing air from the egg whites.

5. Baking:
Divide the mixture into two baking trays lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let the bases cool completely before assembling.

6. Preparing the cream:
In a cold bowl, whip the liquid cream until it becomes firm. Add the cream stabilizer, honey, and vanilla essence, continuing to mix until well combined. Finally, fold in the condensed milk.

7. Preparing the glaze:
In a double boiler, melt the chocolate together with the butter and oil, stirring constantly until you achieve a smooth and shiny glaze.

8. Preparing the topping:
Over low heat, melt the nougat cream together with the butter, stirring until homogeneous. Let it cool slightly.

Assembling the Dessert

1. First layer:
Place the first layer of the base on a platter. Add half of the prepared cream, spreading it evenly.

2. Adding the topping:
Pour the cooled topping over the cream on the first base and spread it well. Refrigerate the dessert for 10 minutes so that the topping sets.

3. Finalizing the assembly:
Place the second layer of the base over the set topping, pressing gently to ensure it sticks well.

4. Glazing:
Pour the warm glaze over the dessert, covering the surface evenly. Let the dessert chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to set well.

Serving and Variations

After the dessert has cooled, cut it with a sharp knife and serve it with a dollop of whipped cream on top or alongside a scoop of ice cream. Kinder Pingui is ideal alongside a fragrant coffee or a fruit tea, perfect for a relaxing afternoon.

Variation suggestions:
- You can add a few drops of orange essence to the whipped cream for a fresh taste.
- Replace the nougat cream with another favorite flavor, such as caramel or white chocolate, to experiment with a different flavor profile.
