Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 25 minutes
Total time: 55 minutes
Servings: 12

Necessary ingredients:

For the base:
- 7 fresh eggs
- 7 tablespoons of sugar
- 4 tablespoons of ground walnuts
- 1 packet of cream powder (vanilla or chocolate)
- A pinch of salt

For the vanilla cream:
- 500 ml liquid cream
- 400 ml cold milk
- 1 packet of vanilla-flavored CREME OLE
- 2 packets of cream stabilizer
- 400 g condensed milk

For the chocolate cream:
- 1 packet of chocolate-flavored CREME OLE
- 400 ml milk

For the glaze:
- 100 g cooking chocolate
- 50 ml liquid cream

Tips for ingredients:
- Choose fresh eggs from a trusted source for better texture of the base.
- Ground walnuts not only add flavor but also provide a pleasant consistency. If you prefer, you can replace them with ground almonds.
- The cream should be well chilled to whip properly.

Preparation:

1. Preparing the base:
Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. In a large bowl, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they become very stiff and foamy. This step is essential for achieving a fluffy base, so be patient!

2. Adding the yolks:
Gradually add the sugar to the beaten egg whites, continuing to mix until the mixture becomes shiny. Then, add the yolks one at a time, gently mixing to avoid losing air from the egg whites.

3. Incorporating the walnuts and cream powder:
Add the cream powder and ground walnuts, gently folding with a spatula until well combined.

4. Baking the base:
Line a baking tray with parchment paper or grease it with butter and sprinkle a little flour. Pour the mixture into the tray and level it. Bake for 25 minutes or until the base is firm to the touch and has taken on a golden color. Once baked, leave it for a few minutes in the oven with the door slightly open, then cool completely on a wire rack.

5. Preparing the vanilla cream:
In a bowl, mix 200 ml of cold milk with the packet of vanilla cream until thickened. Add 250 ml of liquid cream and a packet of cream stabilizer, continuing to mix until you achieve a firm consistency. Finally, incorporate the condensed milk and mix well.

6. Assembling the cake:
Spread the cooled base with the vanilla cream, then refrigerate for about an hour to allow the cream to set.

7. Preparing the chocolate cream:
In another bowl, repeat the process with 400 ml of milk and the packet of chocolate cream. Once combined, spread it over the vanilla cream and level well.

8. The glaze:
In a small saucepan, place the broken chocolate pieces and liquid cream. Allow it to melt over low heat, stirring constantly, and add a little butter for extra shine. Once melted, pour the glaze evenly over the cake and let it set in the refrigerator.

Serving suggestions:
The Krem a la Krem cake is delicious both plain and with a drizzle of berry sauce or alongside vanilla ice cream. You can also add some fresh fruit for a touch of freshness.

Customized version:
If you want to experiment, try replacing the vanilla cream with caramel cream or add a hint of orange essence to the chocolate cream. These small variations can completely transform the cake, making it unique!

Nutritional benefits:
This cake, while delicious, is high in calories, with approximately 350-400 calories per serving, but it also provides protein from the eggs and calcium from the milk. Consumed in moderation, it is a dessert that can bring incredible joy.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use another type of milk?
Yes, you can use plant-based milk, such as almond or coconut milk, but it may slightly alter the taste of the cake.

2. How can I make the cake less sweet?
Reduce the amount of sugar in the base and use a chocolate cream with less sugar.

3. How long can I store the cake?
The cake keeps well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, but it is recommended to consume it fresh to enjoy the ideal texture.

In conclusion, the Krem a la Krem cake is not only a refined dessert but also a wonderful way to impress your family and friends. Every bite is an explosion of flavors and textures, and making it becomes a pleasant experience. Let’s enjoy cooking and the flavors this wonderful recipe brings!
