How I make it

Base

  1. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave.

  2. Crush the cornflakes and mix them into the chocolate. Add the hazelnuts and mix.

  3. Spread the mixture in a 10-inch (26 cm) springform pan, cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.

Chocolate cream

  1. Melt the chocolate in the microwave.

  2. Whip the cream to stiff peaks and transfer to another bowl.

  3. In the same mixer bowl, beat the yolks and sugar for 5 minutes, until pale and fluffy.

  4. Add the melted chocolate and vanilla, then fold in the whipped cream.

  5. Pour over the cornflake layer and chill for at least 1 hour.

Glaze

  1. Warm the chocolate and milk in a small pot, stirring, until smooth. Let cool.

  2. When the glaze is completely cool, pour it over the cake and chill for another hour.
