This no-bake chocolate cake with walnuts and white chocolate is an oven-free dessert that even beginners can make. The base is a smooth cream made with powdered milk, butter, and vanilla-flavored sugar syrup. Some of the cream binds crushed butter cookies and ground walnuts into a crust in a 20 cm pan; the rest is flavored with baking chocolate. Whipped cream with stabilizer and white chocolate complete the cake, which needs to chill thoroughly in the refrigerator before serving.

Instructions

  1. Heat the water with 100 g granulated sugar and the vanilla sugar in a saucepan. Once the sugar dissolves, remove the pan from the heat and gradually add the powdered milk, stirring constantly. Let the mixture cool briefly, then add the butter and beat with a mixer until smooth.
  2. Combine the crushed cookies, ground walnuts, and milk in a bowl. Add 200 g of the prepared cream mixture and stir to combine.
  3. Line a 20 cm cake pan with parchment paper and press the cookie mixture into the bottom. Refrigerate.
  4. Prepare the fillings. Melt the two chocolates separately in bowls over a water bath. Divide the remaining cream mixture in half, stir the white chocolate into one half and the dark chocolate into the other, then beat each filling with a mixer.
  5. Spread the dark chocolate filling over the crust and refrigerate for half an hour. Then spread the white chocolate filling on top. Whip the heavy cream with the stabilizer, spread it over the top, and decorate the cake as desired.

Tip: Sift the powdered milk and add it to the syrup a tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition to prevent lumps.
