Preparation procedure

  • Dough: Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Beat the butter with the sugar until creamy, gradually beat in the egg yolks and the milk. Mix the flour with the baking powder and fold into the butter mixture. Finally, gently fold in the egg white foam. Spread half of the dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 180 °C for about 10 minutes until golden. Enrich the other half of the dough with cocoa, spread it on the tray and bake the same way. Let both layers cool.
  • Cream: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate, butter and milk. Stir in the ground hazelnuts, almonds and sugar. Mix the mixture well and let it cool until it thickens but remains spreadable.
  • Assembling the pastry: Spread half of the cream on the bottom cocoa layer, place the light layer on top and spread the remaining cream. Sprinkle the surface with chopped hazelnuts and let it set in the refrigerator for 2–3 hours.
  • Serving: After cooling, cut into neat bars and serve.
