Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the white chocolate for coating the Pepero sticks. Place the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set it over a pot of simmering water (double boiler). Stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, ensuring it doesn’t overheat.
Step 2
Dip each stick biscuit into the melted chocolate, coating it thoroughly. Make sure the chocolate evenly covers the entire biscuit stick.
Step 3
Place the chocolate-coated biscuit sticks on a sheet of parchment paper or a Teflon sheet. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle generously with colorful sprinkles for a festive look. Alternatively, before the chocolate hardens, use a chocolate pen to draw patterns or designs for a personalized touch.
Step 4
Now, let’s whip the cream for the cake. In a chilled bowl, combine 350g of cold heavy cream and 30g of sugar. Place this bowl over a larger bowl filled with ice water; this helps the cream whip up firmly without becoming too warm. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks – when you lift the beaters, the cream should curl over slightly.
Step 5
Assemble the cake layers. Place one cake sheet on your cake stand or turntable. Scoop a generous amount of the whipped cream onto the sheet and use an offset spatula to spread it evenly across the entire surface, reaching all the way to the edges.
Step 6
Continue layering: spread whipped cream on the first cake sheet, then place another cake sheet on top, followed by more cream. Repeat this process until all 5 cake sheets are stacked, alternating with layers of cream.
Step 7
Once all layers are assembled, generously coat the entire cake – both the sides and the top – with the remaining whipped cream. Use your spatula to smooth the surface for a clean and professional finish.
Step 8
Take the hardened, decorated Pepero sticks and carefully arrange them around the sides of the cake, pressing them gently into the cream so they stand upright. Work your way around the cake, placing them closely together for a full, decorative effect.
Step 9
Finally, use the leftover whipped cream to decorate the top of the cake. You can pipe swirls, rosettes, or any other design you like. This personal touch completes your beautiful and heartfelt Pepero Cake. Make your celebration extra special with this homemade masterpiece!
