How to make the cream

Make the vanilla pudding in milk, with 8 tbsp of sugar and cool it down. Beat the butter with confectionery sugar and add the cold vanilla pudding. Mix it until it combines well and until it gets fluffy.

Divide the cream in two bowls. In the first half add the crushed waffle biscuits. Stir it well and cream it on the cake .

The cream in the second bowl was waiting for milled, toasted walnuts to be stirred in. In order to be different color from the first cream I had to darken it with some melted chocolate – I used dark chocolate and a little bit of milk chocolate.

I tried to say no to this cream but it was unsuccessful try. As the cream got on the cake the bowl was attacked by me!

I couldn’t resist it – no way!

As the cake has two creams on, leave it in the cold place for a while.

Whipping base and chocolate flakes is the decoration I have chosen for this cake. Chocolate ganache or chocolate glaze could be great too. Be creative and decorate your cake in color of your mood.
