Jam - 4 tablespoons
Chocolate - 3.5 oz
Sugar - 1 cup
Chocolate eggs - 4 pieces

Step by Step guide

Step 1

In an enameled pot, whip together the margarine, sugar, and eggs with a pastry whisk until the mixture is homogeneous and the sugar crystals have significantly reduced.

Step 2

Add the flour and mix the entire mass well. It will be somewhat liquid, and it needs to be spread thinly on a baking sheet or pastry board with a knife.

Step 3

Bake in a preheated oven at 220–464°F for 10–12 minutes. It is important that the product does not dry out.

Step 4

Spread the finished layers (there should be 5–6) with jam and stick them together. Do not stick the top layer.

Step 5

Place a small weight (press) on the glued layers for 30–40 minutes.

Step 6

Then remove the weight and pour melted chocolate over the top layer, quickly smoothing it with a knife, as the chocolate sets immediately.

Step 7

Cut the pastry into evenly sized portions, which can be square, cubed, or diamond-shaped. If you add 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder to half of the dough during mixing, you can alternate light layers with chocolate ones.
