Ferrero currently offers a wide range of Kinder-branded products, which are incredibly popular with children. You can find the following in any Russian supermarket:

Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs;
sponge cakes "Milk Slice", "Pingwie" and "Delice";
Bueno bar with milk and white chocolate;
miniature croissants with chocolate, etc.

It's hard to find a child who wouldn't ask for their favorite treat when they're at the store. However, doctors warn that store-bought Kinder sweets, if consumed frequently, can be harmful to a child's health, as they contain potentially dangerous ingredients such as:

vegetable fats;
soy lecithin;
synthetic flavors;
sodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate emulsifier.

Feeding children such products at any age is not advisable, but there is an alternative – healthy alternatives to popular sweets, made from natural ingredients in your own kitchen!

To implement this recipe we will need:

containers for mixing biscuit dough and whipping cream;

sieve;
rectangular baking tray 28*38 cm;

Preparation

Step 1

Step 1 – Prepare the sponge cake base

Break 4 eggs into a container of suitable size (for the cakes we will need both the white and the yolk).

Step 2

Add 120 grams of sugar, a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of vanilla sugar (you can also use vanilla extract).

Step 3

Using a mixer, beat the mixture until a thick, fluffy foam forms, as shown in the photo.

Step 4

Add two tablespoons of cold water to the dough and beat the mixture for a couple more minutes until smooth.

Adding water will make the sponge cake more moist and juicy. If you prefer a dry, crumbly version, simply skip this step.

Step 5

Separately mix the dry ingredients: 80 grams of flour, 40 grams of cocoa and 0.5 teaspoon of baking powder.

Step 6

Sift the dry mixture in parts through a sieve and mix into the egg base.

At this stage, it is better to knead the dough with a regular spatula rather than a mixer.

Step 7

As a result, you should have a soft, airy chocolate dough, as in the photo.

Step 8

Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment or baking paper and spread the mixture into an even layer.

If you are unsure of the quality of your paper, first lubricate the surface of the sheet with odorless vegetable oil.

Step 9

It is necessary to bake the biscuit base for the Kinder or Milk Slice cake at 180℃ approximately 12 minutes (parameters are given for a standard electric oven in the “top + bottom” mode without convection).

Step 10

Remove the finished sponge cake from the oven, let it rest for a couple of minutes, and then, while still warm, transfer it to a clean baking sheet and separate it from the parchment paper on which the cake was baked.

Step 11

Step 2 – Prepare the jelly layer

Pour 10 grams of gelatin into 60 grams of water. You can do this ahead of time so the gelatin absorbs the water, swells as much as possible, and becomes as soft as in the photo.

Step 12

Dissolve the gelatin until it becomes liquid by heating the mixture in the microwave in short bursts.

Step 13

In a mixing bowl, combine 300 grams of chilled heavy cream (30% or more), 250 grams of cold sour cream, and a teaspoon of vanilla sugar. Beat with a mixer until thick and fluffy.

Step 14

In a separate container, add 100 grams of condensed milk and a tablespoon of liquid natural honey to a small amount of sour cream.

Step 15

Beat sour cream with honey and condensed milk with a mixer until smooth.

Step 16

Add a few spoons of sour cream and condensed milk to the container with gelatin and stir, thus equalizing the temperature.

Step 17

Pour the prepared gelatin into the sour cream and mix thoroughly.

Step 18

Add whipped cream to the sour cream and gelatin base in parts, mixing well at each stage until smooth with a hand whisk.

Step 19

The result is a fluffy, delicate cream. Place it in the refrigerator for a few minutes (this is the time we'll prepare our sponge cake).

Step 20

Step 3 – Assembling the Milk Slice Cake

Cut the cooled biscuit into two equal parts.

If you don’t have a special tool (like the one in the picture), you can do this with a regular kitchen knife.

Step 21

Place the first cake layer on the prepared base.

You can place strips of parchment paper under the edges so that the edges of the base (plate or board) do not get dirty during the process of assembling the dessert.

Step 22

Place the cooled and already starting to harden cream on top of the chocolate sponge cake and spread it in an even layer, paying special attention to the corners.

Step 23

Cover the layers with the second biscuit.

Step 24

Trim the cream around the edges to create a nice, even cut, like the classic Kinder Milk Slice cake.

Step 25

At this stage, if we cut the cake into portions, we get a classic "Milk Slice" cake, but for serving at a holiday, we will decorate it like a real cake.

Before slicing or further decorating the dessert, it must be placed in the refrigerator for 2 hours so that the gelatin completely hardens and the creamy layer becomes dense.

If you're making a pie for a children's party ahead of time, you can refrigerate the dessert overnight. This will allow the filling to firm up and make it easier to cut into individual servings.

Step 26

Step 4 – Prepare the glaze

In a bowl, place 40 grams of dark and 40 grams of milk chocolate, as well as 40 grams of soft butter.

Step 27

Heat in the microwave in short bursts and stir until you have a smooth, liquid glaze.

Step 28

Place a few spoonfuls of icing into a small bag. We'll use it to apply the pattern during the final decorating step.

Step 29

Pour the bulk of the glaze on top of the cake and spread it in a thin layer over the surface of the biscuit.

Step 30

Apply a random pattern on top by squeezing the previously set aside icing out of the bag.

Step 31

Our "Milk Slice" is ready, but before cutting it into portions, we recommend keeping the cake in the refrigerator for another 5-10 minutes to allow the glaze to completely harden.

You can add chopped nuts or coconut to the recipe. A variety of festive cake decorations are also possible.

We also suggest trying making an original multi-layered Kinder Pingui cake for a children's party. Its flavor is reminiscent of the famous candy bar. Detailed step-by-step instructions and a list of ingredients can be found in this video:
