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

Instructions
Let's make a healthy sugar free milk slice! Here are the basic steps. For more details and nutrition info, scroll down to the recipe card.
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.
Recipe Notes
If you have leftovers, crumble the chocolate sponge over the milk filling in a bowl and call it Eton milk mess.
This chocolate sponge can also be used to make ice cream bars! Fill it with my sugar free ice cream instead.
Storage
The milk slices must be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. They stay fresh for up to 5 days.

Sponge
Beat the eggs until foamy. Add all other ingredients for the sponge and mix well.
Pour the liquid mixture onto a baking sheet lined with lightly greased parchment paper or use a pan measuring 20 x 40 centimetres. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Filling
Warm the milk in a pan (it should not boil). Stir in the gelatine granules until completely dissolved. Remove from the heat.
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.
Peel the cooled sponge off the baking paper and pre-cut it into 2 equal halves of 10 x 40 cm.
Spread the milk filling over one half of the sponge. Top with the second half and cut into 10 slices.
Notes
This recipe yields 10 milk slices measuring 10 x 4 centimetres.
The original kinder milk slice weighs 28g and is therefore roughly half the weight of my milk slice. Yet my version has only 1.1g of sugar (compared to 8.3 g) and 2.8g net carbs.
Store the milk slices in the fridge for up to 5 days.
