Ingredients

KitKat Sauce 1kg MHI
KITKAT® Sauce

  • 40g unsalted butter, melted
  • 125g plain flour
  • 25g caster sugar
  • 240ml milk
  • 60ml water
  • 100g eggs (2)

  • 200ml whole milk
  • 40g sugar
  • 60g egg yolks (3)
  • 20g cornflour
  • 200ml whipping cream, whipped
  • 30ml KITKAT® Sauce
  • 30g KITKAT® Chocolate & Wafer Pieces mix-ins

Preparation

  • 1
    In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, flour, sugar, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
  • 2
    Gradually add the milk and water, followed by the eggs, mixing until a smooth batter forms. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the batter in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

  • 3
    Heat a non-stick crêpe pan or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter if necessary. Pour a small amount of the chilled batter into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
  • 4
    Cook for approximately 2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the surface is set. Flip the crêpe and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until lightly golden. Transfer the cooked crêpe to a plate and repeat the process until all the batter is used. Allow the crêpes to cool completely.

  • 5
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg yolks, and cornflour until the mixture is pale and creamy.
  • 6
    In a saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Gradually pour the hot cream over the egg mixture while whisking continuously.
  • 7
    Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the temperature reaches 82°C (180°F) or until the sauce has thickened.
  • 8
    Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Once cooled, gently fold in the whipped cream until well combined. Transfer the filling to a piping bag.

  • 9
    Line the bottom of a springform tin with parchment paper. Place one crêpe in the tin as the base.
  • 10
    Pipe a layer of the filling onto the crêpe, spreading it evenly. Repeat the layering process with the remaining crêpes and filling until all are used.
  • 11
    Finish by drizzling the top with KITKAT® Sauce and sprinkling with KITKAT® Chocolate & Wafer Pieces mix-ins.
  • 12
    Carefully remove the gâteau from the springform tin. Cut into portions and serve chilled or at room temperature.
