For Valentine's Day, what better proof of love than a delicious cake filled with indulgence? Today, we propose to make this Heart Cake filled with Kinder! A crunchy shortcrust pastry, generous whipped cream, and a bunch of treats arranged on top, this is the promise of this lovely heart-shaped dessert ❤ So rather than buying a material gift without interest (let's be honest ;-) ), put on your best apron and head to the detailed steps of our recipes. These are illustrated with photos and videos to help you during preparation. Happy cooking and especially happy Valentine's Day!❤

Ingredients

Shortcrust pastry:

• 1/2 cup softened butter (120 gr)
• 2/3 cup icing sugar (80 gr)
• 1 oz powdered almonds (25 gr)
• 2 tsp vanilla sugar
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 egg
• 1.5 cups flour (200 gr)

Mascarpone cream:

• 1 cup mascarpone
• 1+2/3 cups cream
• 1/2 cup icing sugar
• 1 vanilla bean

Kinder decoration:

• 1 Kinder maxi
• 1 Kinder country
• 1/2 Kinder bueno
• 1/2 Kinder bueno white
• 8 Kinder schokobons

Materials

• bowl, baking sheet, plastic wrap, piping bag

Preparation

• Put softened butter, icing sugar, vanilla sugar, almond meal, and salt into a bowl. Mix everything until you obtain a smooth cream. Add the egg and mix well.
• Now, add the flour and mix by hand until the dough becomes uniform. Do not over-knead! Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
• Remove dough from the refrigerator, take off the plastic wrap, and divide the dough into 2 pieces. Take one piece and place it on a baking sheet.
• Draw or print a half-heart shape on an A4 sheet, cut it out, and place it on the dough. Cut around the half-heart shape, reposition it symmetrically, and cut the second half of the heart.
• Repeat steps 3 and 4. Refrigerate before removing the excess shortcrust pastry (it will come off more easily afterward). After 30 minutes, remove the excess shortcrust pastry.
• Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• Put the mascarpone, very cold cream, icing sugar, and seeds from the vanilla bean in a very cold bowl and whip at high speed to make the whipped cream.
• Place the first shortcrust heart on the serving plate. Using a piping bag, apply the whipped cream in small dollops over the entire surface of the shortcrust.
• Place the second shortcrust heart on top and pipe another layer of whipped cream over it.
• Decorate the top of the heart tart with pieces of Kinder.
• And there you have it, the Kinder heart tart is ready!

Observations

Shortcrust pastry:
• You can use two ready-made shortcrust pastries instead.
• We recommend shaping the heart and then refrigerating the dough for 30 minutes before removing the excess.
• It's okay if your shortcrust hearts break; the whipped cream will completely cover the dough, and your guests won't notice!

Filling:
• You can add crushed Kinder to your cream if you wish.
• You can use other types of Kinder, chocolates, or fruits, for example, to decorate your heart.
