Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
First, letʼs prepare the dough.

Step 2

Step 2
In a bowl, mix soft butter, powdered sugar and vanilla sugar.

Step 3

Step 3
Using a mixer, thoroughly beat the butter for several minutes until it becomes fluffy.

Step 4

Step 4
Add two egg yolks, one at a time, whisking thoroughly.

Step 5

Step 5
Pour in the cream (I used 33%, but you can use less fat). Process the mixture with a mixer until completely homogeneous.

Step 6

Step 6
Add baking powder to the flour and sift the mixture into a bowl.

Step 7

Step 7
Knead the soft, slightly sticky dough with quick movements. Donʼt knead the dough for too long!

Step 8

Step 8
We collect the finished dough into a ball, put it in a bag or wrap it in film and put it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Step 9

Step 9
Take the chilled dough out of the refrigerator, place it on a work surface and roll it out into a layer about 5-6 mm thick.

Step 10

Step 10
We cut out circles with a diameter of about 5-6 cm from the dough. We collect the scraps of dough and re-roll them.

Step 11

Step 11
Place the circles of dough on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and, in this form, first place it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.

Step 12

Step 12
After 20 minutes, bake the cookies in an oven preheated to 180-200 C for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Let the finished cookies cool completely.

Step 13

Step 13
While the cookies are cooling, letʼs make the filling for our choco pie.

Step 14

Step 14
So, first, pour gelatin with water (cold boiled) and leave for 10 minutes to swell. Gently heat the swollen gelatin (do not bring it to a boil!) in the microwave or on the stove until it is completely dissolved. Let the gelatin solution cool.

Step 15

Step 15
Letʼs prepare the syrup. To do this, combine sugar and water in a saucepan.

Step 16

Step 16
Place the saucepan on the fire, stirring gently until the sugar is completely dissolved, and bring to a boil. After the syrup boils, stop stirring and cook the syrup for 5 minutes over medium heat to a temperature of 112-114 C.

Step 17

Step 17
Pour the egg whites into a bowl and beat until soft peaks form.

Step 18

Step 18
Without stopping whisking, pour the prepared hot syrup into the whipped whites in a thin stream. Continue beating the egg whites until the mixture cools to room temperature.

Step 19

Step 19
Add gelatin solution.

Step 20

Step 20
And beat everything thoroughly again. Transfer the finished mixture into a pastry bag with a round tip. If suddenly you don’t have a pastry bag, then you can take a regular thick bag, from which you need to cut off the corner. By the way, if after adding gelatin the protein mass has become quite liquid, then put it in the refrigerator for 5-7 minutes, just be careful and take the mass out more often and stir so that it cools evenly.

Step 21

Step 21
Collecting cakes. To do this, fold the cookies in pairs. Place a portion of the prepared filling on one half of the cookies.

Step 22

Step 22
And cover with the second half of the cookies.

Step 23

Step 23
Letʼs prepare the glaze.

Step 24

Step 24
To do this, melt the chocolate together with vegetable oil. Let it cool a little.

Step 25

Step 25
Cover the cakes with glaze. To do this, first dip the sides of the cakes into the icing and place them on baking paper (it will be much easier to separate the finished choco pie from it).

Step 26

Step 26
Using a teaspoon or brush, coat the tops of the cookies with icing.

Step 27

Step 27
Place the cookies in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.

Step 28

Step 28
Thatʼs all. Homemade Choco Pie cookies are ready.

Step 29

Step 29
Bon appetit!
