Eggnog slices

Ingredients for 24 servings:

• 4 tbsp water, hot
• 4 eggs
• 200 g sugar
• 1 tsp, leveled baking powder
• 200 g flour
• 2 packs of pudding powder (vanilla flavor)
• 500 ml milk
• 250 g butter
• 150 ml egg liqueur
• some rum and water
• 1 pack of cookies (butter cookies)
• 2 bars of chocolate (white or brown)

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

For the batter, first beat the eggs with the water and sugar until fluffy. Combine the flour and baking powder and stir a tablespoon at a time into the egg and sugar mixture. Beat again until fluffy (important: incorporate as much air as possible into the batter!). Pour onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Smooth the surface and bake at 200°C for 12 minutes until golden brown. Let stand for an additional 2-3 minutes in the residual heat, then let cool. For the cream, prepare the custard powder according to the package instructions, but use only 500 ml of milk instead of the 1 liter. Allow the custard to cool completely, stirring continuously, ensuring that no lumps form. Beat the butter until fluffy, stir in the cold custard, and stir in 150 – maximum 300 ml of egg liqueur, if desired. Spread the cream evenly over the cold dough base. Briefly soak the butter cookies in a rum and water mixture (do not soak them completely!) and spread evenly over the cream. Melt the chocolate and spread it either evenly or in small blobs over the cookies and cream. Let it cool, then cut into pieces.
