Dessert with chocolate
What we will need:
For the dough:
- plain flour – 550 g
- butter – 200 g
- sugar – 165 g
- eggs – 2 pcs
- milk – 3 tablespoons
- ammonium carbonate – 1 sachet
- salt – 1 pinch
For the cream:
- milk – 1 l
- butter – 200 g
- corn starch – 90 g
- sugar – 10 tablespoons
- icing sugar – 3 tablespoons
- egg yolks – 3 pcs
- lemon juice
For the frosting:
- white chocolate – 100 g
- milk chocolate – 1 bar
- whipping cream – 4 tablespoons
How we will proceed:
1. Prepare the dough for the mussels. In a bowl, beat the soft butter with the caster sugar, a pinch of salt and the eggs until foamy. Then add the milk, sift in the plain flour, ammonium carbonate and work all the ingredients into a smooth, non-sticky dough. Cover with a tea towel and leave to rest at room temperature for about twenty minutes.
2. Then divide the rested dough into four equal parts and roll them out one by one on a floured board into sheets.
3. Cut the rolled out dough into rectangles with a knife and place one by one on a large baking tray lined with baking paper.
4. Bake in a preheated oven for about 8 to 10 minutes at 180 °C.
5. While the crusts are baking, start preparing the cream filling. In a saucepan, whisk the egg yolks with the cornstarch and caster sugar.
6. Then pour the milk over the mixture, stir and cook over a low heat until it thickens. Stir the cream regularly with a fork or whisk. Remove the finished pudding from the heat and, while still hot, combine with the butter pieces, icing sugar and lemon juice.
7. Leave to cool completely.
8. Melt the milk chocolate in a water bath and stir it into the whipped cream.
9. Then melt the milk chocolate in another bowl.
10. Spread a third of the cream filling on the first shell, cover with the second shell, spread the cream again, do the same with the third and finish with the fourth shell. Finally, brush the cake with white icing and decorate with milk chocolate and a skewer.
11. When the cake is ready, put it in the fridge to chill and set for at least 24 hours.
Good taste!
