Instructions
- Prepare the Base:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Ready your baking pan by applying a layer of grease and covering it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the vegetable oil and mix well.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, gently folding until everything is blended together.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the base to cool completely.
- Prepare the Chocolate Layers:
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and whipping cream. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat.
- Divide the mixture evenly into two bowls. Add the melted white chocolate to one bowl and the melted dark chocolate to the other. Mix each until well combined.
- Stir in the roasted peanuts into the dark chocolate mixture.
- Prepare the Cream Layers:
- In a mixing bowl, whip the whipping cream until soft peaks form.
- Add the powdered sugar, cream cheese, Nutella, and hydrated gelatin. Continue to whip until stiff peaks form and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Dessert:
- Spread the white chocolate layer evenly over the cooled base.
- Add a layer of the cream mixture over the white chocolate layer.
- Spread the dark chocolate and peanut mixture evenly over the cream layer.
- Add another layer of the cream mixture on top.
- Chill the Dessert:
- Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Serve:
- Once set, remove the dessert from the refrigerator and cut it into squares or slices.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the decadent layers of chocolate and cream with the delightful crunch of peanuts.
