Homemade Kinder Pingui
Description
The recipe won’t take much time. Unlike the store-bought version, homemade Kinder Pingui turns out much more delicate. The cream should not be too cold. Of course it will take longer to whip, but the gelatin won’t seize when mixed and won’t turn grainy or flaky. If the cream won’t whip well, add a special whipping stabilizer. Baking is done. Serve at the table.

Cut identical rectangles from both halves of the sponge cake. I used a special rectangular ring mold without a bottom. On a board of the right size, place plastic wrap or parchment paper, set the mold in place, and lay down one sponge layer.
