Preparation Time

- Preparation time: 15 minutes
- Baking time: 20 minutes
- Total time: 35 minutes
- Number of servings: 8

Ingredients

For the base:
- 75 g butter (preferably unsalted for a balanced taste)
- 4 eggs (at room temperature for better emulsification)
- 160 g flour (preferably tipo '00' for a fine texture)
- 150 g sugar (brown sugar can add a caramelized flavor)
- 3 tablespoons cocoa (quality cocoa for an intense taste)
- 1 baking powder (or 1/2 teaspoon baking soda)

For the filling:
- Nutella or Finetti (or your favorite chocolate cream)
- Whipped cream (about 200 ml, well whipped)
- Powdered sugar (for decoration)

Necessary Utensils

- Baking tray (about 20x30 cm)
- Mixing bowl
- Electric mixer or whisk
- Spatula
- Sifter for flour
- Knife for cutting

Step by Step Preparation

1. Preheat the oven

Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. It is essential to have the oven well heated to achieve a fluffy base.

2. Prepare the base mixture

In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until you achieve a foamy and light-colored mixture. This step is crucial, as the air incorporated into the mixture will make the base light and fluffy.

Tip: If you want a more pronounced flavor, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla or rum essence.

Add the melted butter (but slightly cooled so as not to cook the eggs) and mix well.

3. Incorporate the dry ingredients

In another bowl, sift the flour, cocoa, and baking powder. This step helps eliminate lumps and ensures an even distribution of ingredients. Fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, mixing gently with a spatula until well combined.

4. Bake the base

Pour the mixture into the prepared tray (greased with oil and lined with flour) and level the surface with a spatula. Place the tray in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test. A toothpick inserted in the center of the base should come out clean.

5. Cooling and assembling

After baking, let the base cool completely on a rack. Once cooled, cut it with a sharp knife into two equal parts.

Personal story: I remember how, as a child, I carefully cut the base, eagerly waiting to add the filling. It was a magical moment!

6. Filling

On the first half of the base, spread a generous layer of Nutella or Finetti, then add a layer of whipped cream. This is when the dessert becomes truly special! Cover with the other half of the base.

7. Decorating

Sprinkle powdered sugar on top for an attractive look. Now the dessert is ready to be placed in the fridge for a few hours, ideally 2-3 hours, for the flavors to blend perfectly.

Serving

Serve cold, cut into slices. You can accompany it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a berry sauce for a delicious contrast.

Possible variations: Instead of Nutella, you can use white chocolate cream or hazelnut cream. You can also add pieces of fresh fruit between layers for a fresh note.

Nutritional Benefits

This Kinder Milk Slice is not only a delight for the taste buds but also a source of energy due to the content of eggs and butter. The cocoa brings antioxidants, and the whipped cream can provide an extra boost of calcium.
