Milk Slice: A Nostalgic Childhood Dessert
Milk Slice: A Nostalgic Childhood Dessert
This delightful dessert takes us back to our carefree days of childhood. To create this sweet treat, gather the following ingredients:
5 egg yolks
5 egg whites
90 g flour
5 g baking powder
50 g milk
100 g granulated sugar
50 g vegetable oil
40 g cocoa
Now, let’s walk through the steps:
Whip the Egg Whites: Beat the egg whites until they double in volume. Their airy texture is essential for our milk slice.
Prepare the Yolk Batter: In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with sugar until they become foamy. Next, add the milk and vegetable oil.
Finally, sift in the dry ingredients: baking powder, cocoa, and flour. Mix everything well until all the components are fully incorporated.
Combine Yolk Batter and Egg Whites: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk batter using a spatula. This step ensures a light and fluffy texture.
Baking Time: Transfer the batter to a preheated oven and bake for approximately 7-10 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. The result will be a golden, spongy cake layer.
Now, let’s move on to the creamy milk filling:
Milk Cream Ingredients:
120 g condensed milk
130 g mascarpone
20 g honey
200 g whipped cream
130 g milk
10 g cornstarch
5 g gelatin
30 g cold water
Instructions:
Hydrate the Gelatin: Begin by hydrating the gelatin with cold water. This step ensures its proper consistency.
Thicken the Milk: In a saucepan, combine the milk and cornstarch. Stir continuously over medium heat until the mixture thickens. Once it reaches the desired consistency, remove it from the heat.
Add Gelatin: Add the hydrated gelatin to the thickened milk mixture. Allow it to cool.
Whip the Cream: Whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Then, gently incorporate honey, mascarpone, and condensed milk into the cooled milk mixture using a whisk.
Chill and Assemble: Refrigerate the milk cream for at least 30 minutes. Assemble the cake by layering the cake base, spreading a generous amount of milk cream, and adding another cake layer on top. Ideally, let it chill overnight for the flavors to meld.
Serving Suggestion: Enjoy your milk slice with a refreshing glass of milk. Bon appétit!
