For a long time now, I’ve been asked for a Kinder Cake. I admit it is less my style in cakes and desserts. The use of lots of candy for decoration; there is something just a little rough and not elegant about this. It is definitely desserts that are less commonly made in my kitchen.
But sometimes it’s a little nice to do something different that steps out of my comfort zone. Merav asked me to help her make a cake with white chocolate and Kinder for Damien, her partner, and of course I was happy to help her. Because it’s so hot outside these days, we decided to make it an ice cream cake: white chocolate ice cream cake with lots of Kinder at the top.
The cake is made of crunchy chocolate bottom with Rice Krispies, soft vanilla white chocolate ice cream, whipped cream, and just about any kind of Kinder candy on top, chocolate and cocoa nibs.
