Preparation

How to prepare Pan di Stelle Cake

To prepare the Pan di Stelle Cake first chop 3.5 oz of dark chocolate and set it aside 1. Crumble 7 oz of Pan di Stelle Cookies in a bowl 2, soak them with 2.5 oz of milk 3 and mix to combine the mixture.

Place a cake ring with a diameter of 9 inches on a tray lined with parchment paper 4. Pour the cookie crumbs and distribute them evenly inside the ring, pressing the mixture with the back of a spoon 5. Allow the base to firm up in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Pour the fresh liquid cream into a bowl, add 3 oz of powdered sugar 6

and whip it with an electric mixer 7 until it is very firm 8. After the base's resting time has passed, pour a couple of spoonfuls of whipped cream on top 9,

level the surface with the back of a spoon. At this point, take the remaining Pan di Stelle Cookies, lightly soak them in milk 10 then place them on the cake 11 arranging them in a radial pattern along the perimeter, you should manage to place about 14. Pour over some of the chopped chocolate 12,

to cover all spaces between the cookies 13. Continue with a second layer of whipped cream and level well with the back of a spoon 14, continue distributing another layer of 14 cookies, again previously soaked in milk 15,

and the remaining chopped chocolate 16; cover everything with cream 17, until reaching the edge of the ring. Level well with a spatula 18

to obtain a smooth surface 19. Let the cake compact in the freezer for at least 2 hours. After the resting time, distribute cocoa powder on the entire surface, sifting it with a sieve 20. It's time to create the decor by making a stencil: draw some stars on a sheet recreating the pattern of the Pan di Stelle Cookies 21.

Lay a transparent sheet over the drawings 22 and with a craft knife, cut out the shape of the stars: thus, you will create the star shape on the glossy sheet 23. Remove the cake ring and transfer the cake to a serving plate. Very gently lay the stencil on the cake 24

Sprinkle with powdered sugar 25, then carefully lift the stencil making sure not to spill the sugar deposited on the sheet on the cake 26. In this way, you will have created the decoration of powdered sugar stars. To avoid touching the cocoa layer and make a more precise decoration, you can bring the stencil close without laying it on the cake, in this case, you will need help to distribute the sugar. The Pan di Stelle Cake is ready to be enjoyed! 27
