For 8 portions

Ingredients

Dark cream:

500 ml milk
1 packet of chocolate pudding
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
100 g cooking chocolate
50 g butter
50 g hazelnuts (ground)

White cream:

3 tubs sour cream
3 packets vanilla sugar

Preparation procedure

Preparation of the dark cream: In 400 ml of milk, dissolve the cooking chocolate and add a tablespoon of powdered sugar. Heat over low heat and stir until the chocolate is completely melted.
In the remaining 100 ml of milk, mix the chocolate pudding powder and stir it into the warm chocolate mixture. Cook until the mixture thickens.
Add the ground hazelnuts to the still-hot pudding, mix well and cook briefly. Let it cool partially.
Meanwhile, whip the butter and fold it into the lukewarm chocolate cream. A beautifully smooth and fluffy mixture will form.
Preparation of the white cream: In a bowl, mix the sour cream with the vanilla sugar and stir well.
Assembling the dessert: Layer the white cream into the jars, then the dark chocolate cream and again the white. Repeat the layers according to the size of the jar.
Let the finished jars chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, ideally longer.

⏱ Total preparation time: approx. 30 minutes + time for chilling

🍽 Number of servings: 6–8 jars (depending on size)
