Notes
*For the best baking results, I recommend using a digital scale to measure ingredients in grams instead of cups. Precise measurements ensure consistent and perfect outcomes every time.
Storage: Up to 3 days in the fridge under plastic wrap or in an airtight container (do not freeze).
Use heavy cream with at least 35% fat content if possible.
Add about 50 g of baking dark chocolate to melt along with the Kinder bars for a more chocolaty ganache.
