Oreo dipped in chocolate



Preparation : 15 minutes

Cooking : 2 min

Servings : 8-12 Oreo cookies

Ingredients

  • 8-12 oreo cookies
  • 300 g white chocolate (or white candy melts )
  • 50 g of cocoa butter ( optional )
  • Transfer sheet 1 (optional )
  • Equipment ( optional): 8-12 Silicon mold round cavities .

Preparation

  • We melt the chopped chocolate with cocoa butter in the microwave , programming of 30 in 30 seconds, stirring each time. We must do so with care not to burn the chocolate , you know that you white chocolate is more delicate and difficult to melt . 
  • Now, how to work in this recipe will depend on whether or not we have mold .
  • If you have mold , place it on a tray ( to remove later without losing form) . Cut circles from the sheet of transfer size of the mold cavities and place them at the base ( with the rough part , which is the one sticking up). Pour a couple of teaspoons of chocolate on the sheet to cover it. Place a oreo cookie on top , and finished coated cookie with another couple of teaspoons of chocolate. We give a few hits with the tray on the table , so that the chocolate is well distributed in the molds, and all voids or air bubbles that may have become refilled . ( We hit softly, not thinking about the neighbor who always parks on your site ) .
  • Let cool in the refrigerator or in a cool, dry winter now (summer , refrigerators must! ) . Once solidified chocolate, cookies unmoleded , and removed carefully detaching the transfer sheet (works as a bumper sticker chocolate). 
  • We keep the cookies in a cool place until consumption. With this option out 8 to 12 cookies , depending on how much chocolate we use for mold, and its size.
  • If you do not have mold , bathe in chocolate cookies , draining the excess. We have cookies on a sheet of baking paper. With a spatula, move to the other tray lined with baking paper (it's the only way that the excess chocolate is completely removed) . Cut the transfer into squares the size of our cookies , and place on each cookie , pressing lightly with your fingers so that it is attached (remember , the rough side of the transfer in contact with the chocolate! ) .
  •  Let cool in the refrigerator or in a cool , dry place now in winter (summer , refrigerators must! ) . Once the chocolate solidified , withdraw carefully detaching the transfer sheet ( works like a sticker for chocolate). 
  • We keep the cookies in a cool place until consumption. This option will go over 12 cookies, since much less of chocolate is used to bathe

  • We remove the vanilla pod , open it in half with a knife and took the seeds, which add to the mix. Stir . We removed with a skimmer white foam that forms on top of the gelatin ( I'm not sure this is necessary , but whenever I do work with gelatin )
  • We spent the mixture to a large bowl and let stand at room temperature until lukewarm ( When placing a finger in the mixture is not noticed neither cold nor hot. Takes an hour or so) . At this point the gelatin begins to thicken and egg appears .

Meanwhile, prepare a tray of 22 * 32 cm (about ) spreading it with butter (I tested with oil and does not work well. Guess another option is non-stick spray) .

    1. We started riding the cream, which should be very cold. We put in a large bowl along with the sugar, and beat with an electric whisk, slowly at first to avoid splashing and finally at high speed until it is mounted. We must be careful not to go with the shake, because in that case the serum fat content of cream, we would be separated and sweet butter
    2. We take the cookies one at a time, dip into the cup of milk (add and remove, no more!), And we are placing the photos as forming a tower: cookie, whipped cream, cookie, whipped cream, until end with cookies
    3.

Watermelon Polos


Preparation: 20 minutes (plus freezing time)
Cooking time: no cooking
Servings: 9-pin

Ingredients

    Watermelon layer:
  • 350 g of watermelon, cut into chunks and seeds removed
  • Sugar 50 g
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 1 handful of chocolate chips or pellets
  • Lemon Layer:
  • juice of half a lemon (about 50 ml)
  • 150 ml of cold water
  • 2 heaping tablespoons sugar
  • Kiwi layer:
  • 1 kiwi
  • 50 ml of cold water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • Preparation

    1. We started having prepared molds and sticks that we will use, and making sure you have room in the freezer. In this case I used plastic shot glasses, arbutus and twigs that I have in the garden. To prepare your poles you can use a multitude of molds: pole, ice cube, plastic cups, paper or glass ... As sticks can mix and sold specifically for these uses (see notes) sticks lollipop, or twigs of some tree, if you are sure they are not toxic, and you have not used chemicals
    2. Now prepare the layer of watermelon, for this, grind all the ingredients (except chocolate chips) in a food processor or blender. Split the mixture into the molds, and carry it to the freezer. Past a couple of hours, the mixture will have begun to freeze, but is not completely solid. Then, using a skewer, we will push the chocolate chips and placing them where we want to remain the "seeds". We back to the freezer 30 minutes, withdraw, and then put the poles sticks. If it does not hold firm and upright is that the mixture is not sufficiently frozen and have to wait a little longer. Times are approximate, you better be a little careful the first time you prepare these poles
    3. Once watermelon layer list, and placed and sticks, lemon layer prepared by mixing all ingredients. When the layer is perfectly frozen watermelon (minimum 4 hours), pour over a thin layer of lemon. We back to the freezer
    4. When the layer is completely frozen lemon (minimum 4 hours) prepare kiwi layer, simply grinding all the ingredients. Pour over the lemon layer, and took the freezer until the poles are ready (minimum 4 hours)
    5. To unmold the poles there are several methods. The simplest in my case because the vessels were plastic was cut and remove the poles. They can also be left 5/10 minutes at room temperature, and then pull the stick to unmold. Another option is to move the poles by a jet of warm water, especially the bottom, until we can get them

PUFF PASTRY APPLE

 PUFF PASTRY APPLE
Only God knows how much I like the puff :)
Since I was a girl is one thing that takes away your breath: sweet or savory I love the buttery flaky pastry and crispy taste. I do not think there is a recipe that takes puff and I do not like, for example the wonderful  Moorish pastela , some cookies for super-easy  appetizer  or some cupcakes perfect for a gathering of friends.
Anyway I love it! Although I must admit that I have not yet launched home preparation and why when it comes to quality puff pastry make a difference .... but hey, for this simple and rather tart rápidilla can opt for fresh pastry sheets, so Apanás them, no? :)
Again I speak of tonka bean . He had already used for filling these spectacular Cannoncini and if you have not yet tasted can not tell you anything other than what are you waiting for?? But do not despair if there nothing happens, you just replace it with 1/2 or even 1 if you like it, vanilla pod. Remember that you will have to open and scrape the seeds that are inside. They are pure gold ;)
Nothing, I leave you with the recipe that seems perfect for days like this sofa, blanket and movie ... nothing better to accompany the evening with a slice of still warm pastry, a dollop of sour cream or, why not, a ball a good vanilla ice cream . Enjoy it!
 PUFF PASTRY APPLE
Ingredients for 6 people:

  • 1 roll of puff pastry dough stretched round 
  • 2 blocks golden 
  • 80 gr brown sugar 
  • 1 small glass of brandy 
  • 1/2 vanilla bean and tonka bean 
  • 20 g butter 
  • Sour cream for serving

Preparation: 
1 Preheat oven to 200 ° C.
2 For this recipe a pan that can go in the oven is needed and has diameter roughly equal to the round pastry board. Put the pan on the stove with sugar, brandy and 1/2 vanilla bean in half to open out the seeds. Instead I used some grated tonka bean that gives a very special taste. Stir until sugar has dissolved and cook until it is the consistency of caramel.
3 Peel the apples, cut in 4, remove the heart and cut into slices not too thin because then lose volume during cooking. Arrange the apple slices in the pan covering the entire surface. Boil gently for 5 minutes.
4 Remove from heat, cut the butter into pieces and arrange them on the surface. Cover plate with pastry.
5 Put in the oven and cook for 25-30 minutes. After this time, remove from oven wait 3-4 minutes and turn onto a plate or round dish. This operation is difficult because it is easy for apple slices from sticking to the bottom of the pan with a knife, but careful not to burn can put back the apple slices in place.
6 If the pastry is golden it is not necessary but I do I spent the pastry by the grill on high for 5 minutes to finish caramelar.

7 Serve warm accompanied by a dollop of sour cream.

Polos Flash


Preparation: 15 minutes (plus cooling time and frozen)
Cooking time: 5 minutes
Servings: 12 pole

Pole Strawberry:

  • 250 g strawberries, cleaned, cut and stemless
  • 250 g of simple syrup

  • 4 Orange juice
  • 200 ml of simple syrup
  • juice of half a lemon

Kiwi Poles:

  • 4 kiwis, peeled
  • 200 ml of simple syrup
  • juice of half a lemon

Simple syrup:

  • Sugar 500 g
  • 500 ml water

Preparation

  1. We started preparing the simple syrup. Put in a large saucepan or casserole sugar and water and bring to a boil. When boiling, heat slightly down to borbotee gently and cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely. We keep in the refrigerator until the time we go to use it.
  2. To prepare the poles, we just have to grind together all the ingredients on flavor in a food processor or blender. We can strain the liquid before preparing the poles to achieve a smooth and uniform texture, but not necessary
  3. Fill the molds we have decided to use: ice cube molds, plastic cups, a pole molds can be found in any kitchen store. I used these I bought on Ebay . To fill these Zipzicles, the best is to use a funnel, taking care not to fill up as the liquid will expand in volume when frozen (Zipzicle container itself has a mark which indicates where you can fill up).
  4.  Tightly closed containers and freeze, ideally at least 24 hours, although they can be ready in a few hours. If we use other molds that need stick, as in the last recipe watermelon poles , to place the stick, there are several tricks. 
  5. The first, wait until the mixture is half frozen to insert the stick and stay subject. Another option is to put plastic wrap or foil covering the top of the mold, make a small hole in the center and insert it through the stick, which is secured in this way. 
  6. This is the recommended option when you want to prepare poles, put them in their molds and forget about them without having to be aware of the degree of freezing.

Macarons with Ice pistaccho


Preparation: 1 hour
Cooking time: 10 min
Servings: 25 to 30 macarons

Ingredients
For the "shells"
  • 200g icing sugar
  • 110 gr almond flour (or ground almonds, if you do not find)
  • 90 g egg clear
  • 30 g sugar normal
  • Green dye, preferably powder (optional)
  • Red dye in spray (optional)
  • template or stencil (optional)

For the filling:
  • homemade pistachio ice cream

Preparation
  1. We started preparing macarons. We weigh and sift the icing sugar and almond meal. And this applies not skip this step as I do in all recipes. I confess, never sifted anything biscuits, cookies and more. But in this recipe, it is ESSENTIAL.
  2. We connect sifted almond and sugar in a large bowl. We can replace about 20 g almond flour for ground pistachios.
  3. We weigh the clear. Some people used the aged, ie, separate the whites from the yolks, and leave a day out of the refrigerator, or 4 or 5 days in the refrigerator before using. I've always prepared with pasteurized clear as those sold in Mercadona, because I find it more comfortable to weigh 90 g of clear, and there are no outstanding use buds. 90g is more or less clear is weighing 3 medium egg whites. To ride better, should be at room temperature, so I recommend them out of the fridge for a while before
  4. With wire whisk, begin to mount until a clear foaming.
  5. Gently add the granulated sugar (30 g), while still riding with the whisk at full speed until a meringue with stiff peaks forms.
  6. We again flour mixture and almonds through a sieve (yes, again!) While we dropping the mixture in the form of rain on the white that we have previously mounted. In: Sift almond flour and again, and go on dropping it clear, but not all at once, but little by little so you do not lose too much air meringue.
  7. A medium mixing, add the coloring to desired hue
  8. Prepare a piping bag with round tip, depending on the size that we will make the macarons. I used a 1 cm for I have prepared tiny, about 2.5 cm.
  9. We print and put this template , or similar , on a baking tray. On top place a baking paper so that the circles show through and to guide us to the macarons are perfectly round.
  10. With the pastry bag perpendicular to the baking sheet, let depositing small amounts of dough. To make a circle, aim with the tip of the nozzle to the center of the circle (remember, the manga perpendicular), and without leaving the site, pressed to fill the circle. Thus out perfectly round (unless the dough is too thin and tends to expand) a small peak, which disappears in a few seconds is probably formed. If not, is that the dough is too thick and you have to mix a little more.
  11. Where have all the macarons on the tray, carefully withdraw the template below, and remove the bubbles that are formed on the surface of the macarons with a toothpick. Let rest the macarons at least an hour for the "foot" is formed. Thus, the upper layer is dried and a "cap" is formed and when introduced into the furnace, the air can only escape meringue downward, forming the foot so characteristic of these cakes. Before baking, to see if they are dry and ready, we played one above. It should be noted slightly dry, and should not remain attached to the finger. (If you are not is something stuck, you secretly suck your thumb and wait a little longer, they are not yet).
  12. Preheat oven to 150 and bake about 10-12 minutes for this size, some recipes recommend even 15 or 20, but in my opinion and are completely dry. Must be dry outside, and slightly soft inside.
  13. Remove from oven (almadecántaro turn it off!) And let cool on same baking tray where have. A cold time, but waiting too, carefully took off the sheet of tracing paper, and proceed to decorate them with a template or stencil and spray dye. It is very simple, just to place a "shell" on baking paper (not stain), crank up the macaron template we like, and sprinkle with coloring spray. We removed the stencil carefully and let dry the macaron. Later we keep in the freezer, unless we go to consume immediately.
  14. Then prepare pistachio ice cream, as shown in this recipe
  15. To make the sandwiches, we took a half macaron, put a ball of ice cream on top, and press with another macaron half to form a sandwich. We keep in the freezer until consumption.

Éclairs



Preparation: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 45 min

Servings: 6 éclairs

Ingredients

Choux pastry:

  • 80 ml of milk
  • 80 ml water
  • 70 g of butter
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • Sugar 10 g
  • 100 g flour
  • 2 medium eggs, beaten

For the pastry cream


  • 3 egg yolks
  • 500 ml of milk
  • Sugar 150 g
  • 30 g cornstarch
  • 1 vanilla bean

For the glaze:

  • 100 g of white chocolate
  • 10 g of cocoa butter

Decoration (optional) 
- black edible ink 
- Stamps. I used these that are flexible (transparent)

Preparation

  1. I started preparing the custard. We boil 400 ml of milk with sugar and vanilla. Meanwhile, mix the cornstarch with the remaining milk (100 ml). Beat yolks and add to milk and cornstarch we prebooked. Now add the boiled milk (remember before removing the vanilla pod!), Stirring continuously, and bring back to the fire (medium).
  2.  I continue stirring the mixture continuously until it thickens to your liking (thicken more on cooling). Let cool, and that no crust formation, we spread the surface with a little butter, and cover with plastic wrap
  3. I continue preparing the choux paste. We must keep in mind that we want a more hard mass that when we prepare profiteroles, eclairs and must maintain the shape perfectly, flatten the escudillarlos (or we will be deformed). 
  4. Preheat oven to 150 ° C, and we covered a baking tray with baking paper. We weigh and prepare all the ingredients that we will use
  5. Put the milk and water to the fire, add butter, salt and sugar, and heat it over high heat until butter is dissolved (without allowing it to boil). Once dissolved butter, brought to the boil
  6. Remove from heat and add the flour all at once. Mix with a spatula until we see dry flour. We back to medium-high heat to dry the dough. Stir constantly until the dough no longer sticks to the pan or spatula (about 1 minute)
  7. We spent the hot ground to another bowl, and add 2/3 of the beaten egg. Mix well. Observed mass: You must drop the spatula, but very slowly apart. Better it is dry, it is too wet. Add the egg amount we deem necessary (if the first time you make the recipe, and you have no experience, add the remaining egg no more) and mix well again. Obtain a homogeneous mass and shiny
  8. We transfer the dough to a pastry bag with smooth round tip about 2 cm. On the baking sheet, with the sleeve at an angle of 45 °, and uniformly pressing to release the same amount of mass, we press forming a strip of dough of about 10-15 cm long. If the dough is cooked, it should hold the shape perfectly, without collapse. Cut the dough with a smooth-bladed knife (if necessary, straighten the finger éclairs using a little water) and continue escudillando dough into all éclairs, separated from each other as they grow when baked
  9. Bake for about 45-50 minutes. We turn off the oven and leave the door open within another 10 minutes to finish drying (if we are not sure they are dry, we can check out one of the oven and open it to check)
  10. Remove from oven and let cool
  11. We drilled the basis of the éclairs in three places, and fill it with custard
  12. We melt the white chocolate in the microwave with cocoa butter, carefully, since white chocolate is more delicate than black. Bathe the éclairs in chocolate icing, draining the excess, and passing the finger around to remove excess and even the edges. We leave in the fridge to solidify
  13. Decorate using a stamp and (optional) edible black ink. To do this, I used a pad of ink , the black dye smeared with gel, and pressed the seal. Before printing on éclairs.
  14. I recommend you do some tests on paper. Even as it is not a smooth surface, will not be perfect, but it gives it a more "vintage" air, no. We keep in the refrigerator until serving time, although it is best to consume few before

  4. We sheets of cookie dough in the fridge for a couple of hours, or leave them in the freezer for half an hour (this is done to facilitate the cutting process). As we proceed to each of the dough portions that we have previously cut.
  5. We pulled the sheets (one at a time, so you do not lose cold), cut with a round cutter mold size that we will use for that then the size of the cookie matches the mold (mine 6 cm), Stand biscuits on a tray, and bring back to the freezer at least 15 minutes (cookies will help not lose shape during baking). Repeat with remaining dough. Mass cuts, we can return them to knead, and stretch to the procedure described previously, or we can prepare these minigalletas

Pour a couple of teaspoons of chocolate on the sheet to cover it. We set up an oreo cookie and biscuit coated finished with another couple of teaspoons of chocolate.
  3. We give a few hits with the tray on the table, so that the chocolate is well distributed in the molds, and all voids or air bubbles that may have become refilled. (We hit softly, not thinking about the neighbor who always parks on your site).
  4. Let cool in the refrigerator or in a cool, dry winter now (summer, refrigerators must!). Once solidified chocolate, cookies unmold, and removed carefully detaching the transfer sheet (works as a bumper sticker chocolate). 
  5. We keep the cookies in a cool place until consumption. With this option out 8 to 12 cookies, depending on how much chocolate we use for mold, and its size.
  6. If you do not have mold, bathe in chocolate cookies, draining the excess. We have cookies on a sheet of baking paper. With a spatula, move to the other tray lined with baking paper (it's the only way that the excess chocolate is completely removed). Cut the transfer into squares the size of our cookies, and place on each cookie, pressing lightly with your fingers so that it is attached (remember, the rough side of the transfer in contact with the chocolate!).
  7. Let cool in the refrigerator or in a cool, dry place now in winter (summer, refrigerators must!). Once the chocolate solidified, withdraw carefully detaching the transfer sheet (works like a sticker for chocolate). We keep the cookies in a cool place until consumption.
