Instructions

Working time approx. 2 hours; Rest time approx. 3 hours; Total time approx. 5 hours

Line a baking dish with two layers of aluminum foil. Melt 150g of milk chocolate and brush the bottom and sides of the baking dish evenly with the chocolate. For the waffle batter, combine the eggs, sugar, 150g butter, water, and salt, then slowly stir in the flour. Use a waffle iron to make waffles. Place the finished, cooled waffles in the baking dish. The bottom and sides must be covered with a single layer; trim the waffles if necessary. Refrigerate the dish. For the caramel layer, heat the caramel candies with 150ml of cream in a saucepan. Once everything has melted, add the 75g butter, then let the caramel sauce cool. For the cream, beat together 400ml of cream, cream stabilizer, and vanilla sugar until stiff. Separately, beat the mascarpone until creamy, then add the powdered sugar and milk powder. Carefully fold the stiff cream into the mascarpone mixture. Spread a little more than 1/3 of the cream into the baking dish. Leave about 0.5 cm below the rim so that the next layer of wafers will still fit. Leave a small oval area in the middle of the dish for the caramel layer. Pour the caramel sauce onto the empty space. Place the dish in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set. Then spread the rest of the cream on top and cover with wafers. Spread 150 g of melted chocolate evenly over the top and place back in the refrigerator for at least another 30 minutes to set. When everything is firm, turn the dish out onto a large chopping board. Remove the dish and carefully remove the aluminum foil. Melt the remaining chocolate and spread it all over the surface. Finally, scatter the chopped hazelnuts on top and place in the refrigerator to set. When everything is firm, it is ready to serve.
