Ingredients

Servings: 12
  • 100 g Butter
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 250 g Flour
  • 6 Eggs (size M)
  • 200 g firm nut nougat mass
  • 1 package Pudding powder "Vanilla Flavor"
  • 300 ml Milk
  • 5 sheets Gelatine
  • 300 g Whole milk yoghurt
  • 100 g Sugar
  • 300 g Whipped cream
  • 1/2 (250 g) Mug of red fruit jelly (cooling shelf)
  • baking paper
  • 7-10 Tbsp Cling film

Directions

  1. 1

    Bring butter, salt and 250 ml water to the boil in a saucepan. Add flour at once and stir with a mixing spoon until the dough separates from the bottom of the pot as a lump and a white layer forms on the bottom.

  2. 2

    Put the dough into a mixing bowl. Immediately stir in 1 egg until it has completely bonded with the mixture, allow to cool for approx. 10 minutes. Stir in the remaining eggs one by one.

  3. 3

    Line baking tray with baking paper. Draw 1 circle (26 cm Ø) with a pencil, turn over baking paper. Spread 1/3 of the dough on the circle. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 225 °C/ convection oven: 200 °C/ gas: level 4) for 20-25 minutes.

  4. 4

    Remove and let it cool down. Pour the remaining choux pastry into a piping bag with a medium perforated spout. Draw another circle on baking paper (24 cm Ø), turn over baking paper. Use the piping bag to draw a circle on the rim.

  5. 5

    Spray the remaining dough as tuffs (approx. 10 pieces) next to it. Bake at the same temperature.

  6. 6

    For the nougat cream, cut the nut nougat into small pieces. Mix the pudding powder with 6 tbsp. milk. Heat the rest of the milk in a pot and melt the nougat in it. Remove from heat and stir in the mixed powder.

  7. 7

    Put the pot back on the stove, bring to the boil and simmer for about 1 minute. Put the mixture into a bowl, cover with foil and let it cool down.

  8. 8

    Soak the gelatine. Stir yoghurt and sugar until smooth. Squeeze the gelatine well, dissolve carefully. Stir in 2-3 tablespoons of cream, then stir everything into the cream. Put it in a cold place. Whip cream until stiff. When the cream starts to gel, fold in the cream.

  9. 9

    Cut tuffs in half horizontally, fill with cream and chill until used. Place the choux pastry base on a cake plate. Carefully spread nougat cream on top. Place the dough ring on top and fill with the cream cream.

  10. 10

    Chill for at least 3-4 hours. Before serving, spread red fruit jelly on top and decorate with tuffs.
