vanilla pudding mix

🥗Healthier: homemade vanilla custard

💰Cheaper: instant pudding

graham crackers

🥗Healthier: whole grain crackers

In a bowl, combine water, milk, butter, salt, sugar, flour, and eggs to create the cake batter.

Pour the batter into two trays with a diameter of 20 cm (8 in) and bake in the oven at 200°C (392 °F) for 20 minutes.

For the cream, whisk together eggs, vanilla sugar, sugar, flour, and milk until smooth.

Cool the cream to a neutral temperature before adding soft butter and mixing until well combined.

Prepare the glaze by melting dark chocolate with cream in the microwave for 2 minutes.

Once the cake has cooled for 1 hour, pour the glaze over the top and let it set for another 20 minutes.
