Filling



Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, a pinch of salt, 160 grams of sugar, and 10 grams of vanilla sugar for about 4 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Gradually pour in 100 milliliters of milk and 100 grams of neutral vegetable oil, continuing to whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine 220 grams of flour, 40 grams of cocoa powder, and 10 grams of baking powder. Slowly add this dry mixture to the egg mixture, whisking until smooth.
Transfer the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread it evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine 200 milliliters of cold heavy cream, 250 grams of cold mascarpone cheese, and 50 grams of powdered sugar. Whip the mixture until it reaches stiff peaks.
Your cream filling is now prepared and ready to use.
Step 3
Once the chocolate biscuit base has cooled, use a round cutter to cut out circles from the base.
Each biscuit circle should be soaked with a syrup made from 100 milliliters of water and 1 teaspoon of condensed milk to add flavor and moisture.
Next, pipe some cream onto the soaked biscuit, fill the center with caramel and nuts. Use the remaining cream to cover the top and sides, shaping them round with a spoon.
Use any leftover biscuit crumbs to coat the pastries, and feel free to decorate them as you wish.
Finally, place the assembled pastries in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set before serving. Enjoy these delightful treats with your loved ones!

Equipment
Make sure to line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to ensure easy removal of your pastries.



A hand or stand mixer will make it easy to whip the eggs and cream to the perfect consistency.



Choose a size that works for your desired pastry size. A 5-6 cm diameter works perfectly.



You’ll need various sizes for mixing ingredients and for whipping cream—preferably one for dry ingredients and one for wet.
This will help fold ingredients gently and ensure a light, airy biscuit crumb.



Variations
If you're looking for gluten-free alternatives, swap the regular flour with almond flour or a gluten-free all-purpose blend. Just ensure it contains xanthan gum to help with the texture. 🌾❌
For a vegan option, replace eggs with flax seeds or applesauce and use a plant-based cream like coconut cream for the frosting. There’s no need to sacrifice flavor—these substitutions will keep your pastries delicious! 🌱🥥
Faq
- How do I know if my cake is baked properly?
The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
- Can I make the biscuit in advance?
Absolutely! You can bake the biscuit a day before and store it in an airtight container. Just assemble the pastries the day you plan to serve them for the best texture.
- What can I do if my cream isn’t whipping?
Ensure your cream is very cold and use a bowl that’s also chilled. Whip it at medium speed until you reach stiff peaks.
- Can I use different types of nuts for the filling?
Yes! While peanuts are traditional, feel free to use walnuts or even almonds for a unique flavor twist.
- I want to make these pastries look professional. Any tips?
Use a piping bag to create even layers of cream and practice a simple swirl on top. Garnishing with crushed nuts or a drizzle of chocolate will also enhance their appearance!
- What’s the best way to store my pastries?
Keep them in the fridge in an airtight container. They will stay fresh for up to three days—if they last that long!
