Double chocolate Easter Danish Preparation Method

If you have enough time, make the dough a day before. In a bowl add eggs and milk and beat it with a hand blender. In a mixer, add butter, sugar, yeast, flour and a pinch of salt and blend them together. Stop once the mixture starts binding but leaving pieces of butter. Take the dough out on a flat surface and use your hands to knead it. Now with a rolling pin, roll it into a triangle. Fold the two short ends and bring it in the middle and roll it out twice again. Cover the dough with a thin film and keep it in the refrigerator for 4 hours.

Now to prepare the filling, add almond, icing sugar and cocoa powder in a mixer. Blend it for a few minutes and then add egg whites, butter and chocolate and make a smooth paste. After a while take the dough out and cut in into half. Take the base and cover it with the layer of the filling and cover it with the other half. Cover it with a fine film and leave it for an hour. Now preheat the oven at 180 degree C. In a bowl drop an egg yolk and milk and whip it. Brush this over the dough and sprinkle almonds and some caster sugar and bake it for 45 minutes till it gets golden. Leave it aside to cool and then mix icing sugar and sprinkle drops of cold water, this is to make the icing smooth so that it melts over the cake.
