Ingredients

- 200 g ground walnuts
- 3 tablespoons of flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

For the cream:
- 10 tablespoons of sugar

- 200 g finely chopped walnuts
- 6 egg yolks
- 200 g white chocolate
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 10 tablespoons of oil

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preparing the Base
The first step in making this delicious dessert is to prepare the base. Start by beating the egg whites in a large bowl using an electric mixer until they become frothy. This step is critical, as well-beaten egg whites will help the base to be fluffy and airy.

Gradually add the sugar, continuing to mix until the mixture becomes shiny and forms stiff peaks. This is the moment when the egg whites turn into a perfect foam.

Helpful tip: If you want to achieve an even more stable foam, make sure the bowl and all utensils are completely clean and dry. Any trace of fat can affect the consistency of the egg whites.

Incorporate the ground walnuts, flour, and baking powder. Gently fold with a spatula, using an up-and-down motion to avoid developing gluten in the flour.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, which should be greased and lined with baking paper. Bake the base for 25-30 minutes or until golden and passes the toothpick test. Let it cool completely before adding the cream.

2. Preparing the Cream
While the base cools, you can start on the delicious cream. In a pan, add 10 tablespoons of sugar and let it caramelize over medium heat. Be careful, as the caramel can become bitter if left too long on the heat. When the sugar turns a brown color, add the margarine and stir until it melts.

Safety tips: Be cautious of the steam coming from the pan, as the caramel is extremely hot.

Once the margarine has completely melted, take the pan off the heat and let it cool slightly. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with the remaining 10 tablespoons of sugar until they become a smooth cream. Add this mixture to the pan, stirring continuously to avoid curdling the yolks.

After obtaining a smooth cream, incorporate the ground walnuts, which you have toasted slightly beforehand to enhance their flavor. Mix well to achieve a homogeneous composition.

3. Assembling the Dessert
With the base completely cooled, pour the cream on top, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface. Now it’s time to deal with the chocolate on top. Melt the white chocolate with 5 tablespoons of oil in a double boiler, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

Once the white chocolate has melted, pour it over the walnut cream. Let it cool slightly before repeating the process with the dark chocolate. This will add a pleasant contrast of taste and a fine texture.

4. Serving and Suggestions
After the dessert has cooled completely and the chocolate has hardened, you can slice it. Serve it alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or with a caramel sauce for an even more decadent experience.

Variations: You can add coconut flakes to the cream or use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate, depending on your preferences.
