Ingredients
- Boiled Condensed Milk: 380 g (13.4 oz)
- Lemon Juice: 80 ml (2.7 fl oz)
- Pastry Cream: 400 ml (13.5 fl oz)
- Cocoa Biscuits: 50 g (1.8 oz)
Method of Preparation
1. Prepare the Lemon Juice
- Squeeze the Lemon: Start by cutting half a lemon and squeezing out the juice. You’ll need about 80 ml of fresh lemon juice. This juice adds a refreshing tang that perfectly complements the sweetness of the condensed milk.
2. Mix the Condensed Milk
- Combine with Lemon Juice: Pour the boiled condensed milk into a mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice and mix thoroughly for 3-4 minutes. The lemon juice will slightly thicken the condensed milk, creating a rich, creamy base for your dessert.
3. Whip the Pastry Cream
- Beat the Cream: In a separate container, pour the pastry cream. Use a mixer to beat the cream for 5-6 minutes, or until you achieve a fluffy, light texture. This step is crucial for giving your dessert a smooth, airy consistency.
- Combine with Condensed Milk: Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a spatula. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined and the texture is smooth.
4. Add the Cocoa Biscuits
- Grind the Biscuits: Take the cocoa biscuits and place them in a blender. Grind them into fine crumbs.
- Mix with Cream: Add the ground biscuits to the cream mixture and stir well to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dessert.
5. Set and Shape
- Transfer to Mold: Pour the mixture into a mold or a dish of your choice, flattening the top with a spatula for an even surface.
- Freeze: Place the dessert in the freezer and leave it to set for 2-3 hours.
6. Serve
- Shape into Balls: Once the dessert has set, remove it from the freezer. Using an ice cream scoop, shape the mixture into balls.
- Decorate and Enjoy: Arrange the dessert balls in a suitable container. Decorate as desired—perhaps with a dusting of cocoa powder, a sprinkle of crushed nuts, or a drizzle of melted chocolate. Serve immediately and enjoy!
