Total preparation time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 25-30 minutes
Number of servings: 12

Ingredients:

*Base:*
- 6 eggs
- 6 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 packet of chocolate Creme Ole

*Cream:*
- 350 ml liquid cream
- 150 ml cold milk
- 1 packet of vanilla Creme Ole

*Glaze:*
- 100 g chocolate (choose high-quality chocolate for an intense taste)
- 70 ml liquid cream
- 30 g butter

Step-by-step preparation:

1. Preparing the base:
Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. It is essential to ensure that no traces of yolk remain in the egg whites; otherwise, they will not whip well. Beat the egg whites with a mixer on high speed, gradually adding the 6 tablespoons of sugar. Continue mixing until you achieve a firm meringue-like foam that forms peaks when you lift the mixer blades. It is important that the sugar is completely dissolved for a perfect texture.

2. Adding the yolks:
Add one yolk at a time, continuing to mix. Each yolk must be well integrated before adding the next. After adding all 6 yolks, incorporate the packet of chocolate Creme Ole and mix gently until it becomes a homogeneous mixture. Now is the time to enjoy the delicious aroma filling the kitchen!

3. Baking the base:
Prepare a 20/30 cm baking tray, lining it with baking paper. Pour the obtained batter into the tray and level the surface with a spatula. Bake the base in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 25-30 minutes. Check if the base is baked by gently pressing with your finger; if the indentation disappears immediately, the base is ready. Once baked, let it cool completely.

4. Preparing the cream:
In a bowl, add the 350 ml of liquid cream, 150 ml of cold milk, and the packet of vanilla Creme Ole. Use a mixer to beat the ingredients for one minute until the cream becomes quite firm. This cream will add a note of freshness and a creamy texture to your dessert.

5. Assembling the dessert:
Once the base has cooled, spread the prepared cream evenly over its surface. Place the cake in the refrigerator to set a little, about 30 minutes. This step is essential for having a well-structured dessert.

6. Preparing the glaze:
In a small pot, combine the chocolate, the 70 ml of liquid cream, and 30 g of butter. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture becomes homogeneous. It is important not to boil the mixture, just to heat it enough. Once the glaze is ready, let it reach room temperature.

7. Finishing the dessert:
When the glaze has cooled, pour it evenly over the cream on the cake, using a spatula to spread it well. Place the cake back in the refrigerator to set the glaze, preferably for a few hours or overnight.

Serving suggestions:
Krem a la krem can be served plain or decorated with fresh berries or chocolate shavings. Another wonderful idea is to add a teaspoon of caramel sauce or a fruit sauce for a delicious contrast.

Variations:
To change the recipe a bit, you can replace the creams with different flavors, such as lemon or caramel cream. You can also use white chocolate for the glaze, giving the dessert a sweeter note and a lighter shade.

Nutritional benefits:
This recipe is a good source of calories, considering the rich ingredients, but it also offers protein due to the eggs and cream. Maintain balance by consuming in moderation.

Frequently asked questions:

1. Can I use organic chicken eggs?
Absolutely! Organic eggs are not only healthier but also add a better flavor to the dessert.

2. What type of chocolate should I use?
Choose chocolate with at least 60% cocoa content for an intense flavor and rich aroma.

3. Can I replace the cream with another ingredient?
You can use a plant-based cream for a dairy-free option, but make sure it is thick enough to achieve a good texture.

4. How can I store the cake?
Krem a la krem stores perfectly in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Make sure it is covered to avoid absorbing odors from the fridge.

In conclusion, Krem a la krem is a dessert that blends tradition with innovation, bringing a touch of refinement to any meal. With a little patience and attention to detail, you will create a cake that will impress everyone. Don't miss the chance to prepare it and enjoy a sweet moment with your loved ones!
