This homemade kinder milk slice is a healthy copycat version of the European cult snack. It is sugar free, gluten free, low carb - and delicious.

When I grew up in Germany, the kinder milk slice was just the coolest snack. The kid that had a "Milchschnitte" in his or her pocket was the boss.

I wanted to re-create the candy bar that I loved so much as a child - and make a healthy, sugar free version!

What is Kinder Milk Slice?

The milk slice is made from two layers of chocolate sponge filled with a fluffy milk filling. It is a popular snack in Germany and all around Europe.

When I grew up, I firmly believed that Milchschnitte was healthy. After all, it contains milk, which is essential for a child's development.

Is Kinder Milk Slice Healthy?

Here's a screen shot from the kinder.co.uk website, listing the ingredients of the milk slice:

The main ingredient of a kinder milk slice is indeed milk, but the second and third ingredients are palm oil and sugar. One milk slice, according to the website, contains 8.3g or 2 teaspoons of sugar. This may be reasonably low if you compare it to other desserts, but we can do better than that, right?

And this is why I decided to make my own sugar free version of the famous milk slice.

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you need for a sugar free milk slice:

Chocolate Sponge

Eggs - should be room temperature for best results
Milk - I used full fat milk
Extra-fine almond flour
Whole psyllium husk - or use psyllium husk powder
Baking powder
Cocoa powder - unsweetened
Granulated sweetener - I used an erythritol stevia blend by Sukrin for the milk slices in the images. Now I prefer using either allulose or Bocha Sweet.
Vanilla extract

Milk Filling

Heavy whipping cream
Milk
Cream cheese
Gelatine - This helps to set the filling
Powdered sugar substitute of your choice
Vanilla

STEP 1: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until foamy. Add all other ingredients for the sponge and mix well.

STEP 2: Pour the liquid mixture onto a baking sheet lined with lightly greased parchment paper or pour a thin layer into a lined pan measuring around 20 x 40 centimetres. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

STEP 3: Warm the milk in a pan (it should not boil). Stir in the gelatine granules until completely dissolved. Remove from the heat.

STEP 4: In a large mixing bowl, whip the whipping cream until stiff. Add the cream cheese, powdered sweetener, vanilla extract and the milk mixture and blend until well combined. Place in the fridge until set.

STEP 5: Peel the cooled sponge off the baking paper and pre-cut it into 2 equal halves of 10 x 40 cm.

STEP 6: Spread the milk filling over one half of the sponge. Top with the second half and cut into 10 slices.

Expert Tip

When I first made this recipe, I poured the batter on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. This way, I ended up with a lot of offcuts as naturally, the batter did not pour itself into a rectangle. Use a suitable pan if available.
