INGREDIENTS
For the Egg:
1 Pintarolas Egg
Pintarolas (to taste)
2 tablespoons of toasted hazelnuts
For the Carrot Cake:
2 small carrots
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 cup of sugar
1 + 1/2 cups self-rising flour
For the Brigadeiro:
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
200ml cream
100g hazelnut cooking chocolate (4 bars)
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
Preparation
Prepare the Carrot Cake:
Cut the carrots into slices and cook them for 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). In a bowl, mix the cooked carrots with the eggs and oil. Blend well with a hand blender.
Add the sugar and flour to the liquid mixture. Mix well.
Pour the batter into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for approximately 30 minutes.
Prepare the Brigadeiro:
In a saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk and cream. Mix everything together.
Add the hazelnut chocolate and cocoa powder. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring regularly. Once it starts to boil, cook for about 5 minutes until it reaches the right consistency.
Transfer to a bowl and cover with cling film in direct contact with the brigadeiro. Let it cool for 2 to 3 hours.
Assemble the Filled Egg:
Carefully cut the Pintarolas Egg in half (heating the knife can make this easier and reduce the risk of breaking the chocolate).
Place a bit of brigadeiro at the bottom of the egg half. Cover it with a slice of carrot cake.
Top the cake with more brigadeiro and decorate it with Pintarolas.
Enjoy!
