Heart cake kinder

Ingredients

Pie crust :

• 120 gr softened butter
• 80 gr icing sugar
• 25 gr almond meal
• 7,5 gr vanilla sugar
• pinch of salt
• 1 egg
• 200 gr flour

Mascarpone cream :

• 250 gr mascarpone
• 40 cl cream
• 60 gr 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

Preparation

• Put softened butter+ icing sugar + salt + almond meal into the bowl and mix. Then add egg and beat together until combined.
• Now, add the flour and use your hands to mix until the dough become uniform. Do not over-knead! Now, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
  
• Remove dough from refrigerator, remove the plastic and divide batter into 2 pieces. Take one and place it on a baking sheet.
• Draw or print in a A4 sheet the shape of half heart, cut it and place it onto the rolled dough. Then, use a knife to trim the heart shape but don't remove leftover dough just slash it. Repeat symetrically in order to get a full heart. (check video and photos)
  
• Repeat steps 3 and 4. Right away, store in the fridge for up to 30 min before removing the leftover (this will make it more workable).
• Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  
• Scrape the seeds out of the bean using the knife blade. In a large and cold bowl, whisk together: mascarpone cheese + cold heavy whipping cream + vanilla seeds + icing sugar. Beat whipping cream at maximum speed.
• Transfer the 1st crust onto a serving dish/plate and pipe the whipped cream. Pipe and pull, covering the entire surface of the crust.
  
• Place the second heart over it and apply another layer of whipped cream all over the crust.
• Stand the Kinder around the cake, pressing them lightly into the cream.
  
• Enjoy! Your Heart-Shaped Valentine Cakes is ready!
