• 20 ml sweetener
• 200 ml milk (0.1%)
• 2 g locust bean gum
• 400 g apples

• 1 bar of chocolate (Kinder chocolate)

Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

Peel, core, and slice the apples. Place them in a saucepan with the water and sugar and sauté until the liquid has evaporated. Then set aside and let it cool. Once it has cooled slightly, add the cinnamon and stir in. Heat 535 ml of milk in a saucepan, break the Kinder bars into small pieces and melt them in the hot milk until they have completely dissolved. Meanwhile, mix the cornstarch with the extra 40 ml of milk to ensure no lumps form. As soon as the milk boils, remove it from the heat and stir in the cornstarch, just like when making pudding. Stir the whole time with a whisk to prevent it from burning and lumps from forming. Return to the heat briefly and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Once the pudding is ready, remove it from the heat, add the sweetener, and stir in. Then let it cool, covering it with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, or stir often enough. Add the locust bean gum to the 200ml of milk and beat with a food processor for about 5 minutes until it becomes stiff like whipped cream. Using a hand whisk, this can take up to 15 minutes. Line a baking dish with the first layer of butter biscuits, then arrange the apples on top. Now fold the “faux whipped cream” into the pudding and spread 2/3 of it over the apples, smooth it down, and place another layer of butter biscuits on top. Spread the rest of the cream on top. Sprinkle with brown sugar and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool briefly, and grate a Kinder Bar into small pieces using an apple or potato peeler and spread it on top. It’s best to refrigerate the bar briefly beforehand. Serve afterward, but it’s also great for making ahead; simply refrigerate it overnight or for a few hours and then reheat it in the microwave before serving.
