Ingredients for making original Russian pie:

 1 packet of Maria biscuit (200 g)

 ½ kilogram of powdered chocolate

 ½ kilogram of coconut fat

 ½ kilogram of chopped walnuts

 1 cup of sugar (200 ml cup)

 9 eggs

How to Make Original Russian Pie:

Separate the whites from the yolks and beat the whites in snow until they are very consistent. While beating add the yolks one by one and continue beating until well incorporated.

Tip: To get more consistent and quickly grown whites, beat them with a pinch of salt or a few drops of lemon juice.

Add the sifted chocolate (to avoid lumps), sugar, the cold melted coconut fat and, finally, the chopped walnuts. Wrap everything very well and gently, so as not to lose the air in the egg whites.

Tip: If you want you can replace the coconut fat with butter or margarine.

On a greased platter, place a layer of cream on top, cover with a layer of Maria biscuit, repeat another layer of cream and so on - the last layer should be cream. Store in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Tip: In the original recipe, the Russian pie is mounted in a cardboard box lined with waxed paper.
