INGREDIENTS
 

Sponge Cake:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup/100 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon/5 grams baking powder
  • Pinch fine sea salt

Filling:

  • 2 cups/480 grams heavy whipping cream
  • 3/4 cup/200 grams sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla pudding mix

Coating:

  • 10.5 ounces/300 grams dark chocolate
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 5 tablespoons oil

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Heat oven to 350°F/180°C. Grease a full-size rimmed baking sheet (approximately 14½ x 18 inches/37 x 46 cm), line with parchment, and press flat.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk, beat eggs and salt on medium speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Gradually add sugar and continue beating until very pale, thick, and voluminous, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Sift flour, cocoa, and baking powder over the mixture. Fold gently until smooth. Spread evenly in the prepared pan.
  • Bake until set and springy, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool completely.
  • Whip cream and pudding mix to stiff peaks. Add condensed milk and mix just until smooth and stable.
  • Line a rectangular pan half the size of the baking sheet with parchment. Cut the sponge into two equal rectangles to fit the pan.
  • Place one layer in the pan, spread the cream evenly, and top with the second layer. Freeze until solid, 4 to 5 hours.
  • Unmold, cut into even bars, and keep frozen.
  • Melt chocolate and oil together in short microwave bursts, stirring until smooth. Stir in almonds.
  • Dip each frozen bar, shake off excess, and place on parchment. Freeze until firm.
