Indian barfi with coconut and milk
You will need:
- 50 g butter (softened)
- 100 g dry milk
- 2 tbsp. l. powdered sugar
- 1 tsp heavy cream
- 150 g condensed milk
- 100 g shredded coconut
- 100 g nut assortment
Cooking:
- First, make milk barfi: in a deep bowl, mix milk powder, soft butter and powdered sugar.
- Nuts need to be crushed with a blender into small crumbs. And together with the cream, add to the total mass.
- Mix everything together and put the “dough” in the cold for 10 minutes.
- For coconut barfi, combine condensed milk and coconut flakes. We mix. Then put the mass in the cold for half an hour. The shavings should be saturated with condensed milk.
- After 10 minutes, we form balls of the same size from the milk mass, and then give them a cubic shape. The mass turns out to be very plastic, which allows you to sculpt any figures of a simple shape.
- We roll small balls from the coconut mass, roll them in the remaining coconut flakes.
- Put coconut and milk barfi on a plate. Top with cashews and pine nuts, if desired.
Fruit marshmallow - a traditional Russian sweet
You will need:
- 1 kg plums
- ½ cup granulated sugar
Cooking:
- Wash the plums, dry them, cut them in half and remove the pits. We spread the halves of the plums on a baking sheet covered with parchment, and send them to the oven, preheated to 170–180 degrees (depending on the size of the plums), for 20 minutes.
- Remove the plums from the oven, let them cool slightly and puree with a blender until smooth. Add granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly.
- We line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat and spread the plum puree with a spatula in an even layer about 5 mm thick. We put in the oven, preheated to 60-70 degrees, for 6-8 hours, until the marshmallow is completely dry and smooth.
- Carefully remove the marshmallow from the parchment, cut into strips and twist into rolls. For long-term storage, put in a jar and close tightly. Or just hurry to try with tea.
Australian Lamington Cake
You will need:
For the biscuit:
- 3 eggs

For cream:
- 100 g butter (room temperature)
- 100 g dark chocolate

- 250 ml milk

Cooking:
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Beat the eggs until fluffy, then add the sugar and continue beating until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- To the oil add 3 tbsp. l. boiling water, then pour into the egg mixture, continuing to beat.
- Pour the sifted flour, starch and baking powder into the prepared egg mixture. Gently mix with a spatula in an upward motion. The dough should retain its fluffy texture.
- Put the finished dough into a square shape, covered with baking paper. Place the cake in the oven to bake for 30 minutes.
- Focus on your oven and in any case check the readiness of the biscuit with a wooden stick.
- Cool the finished biscuit. And then cut into squares.
- For cream in a water bath, melt chocolate with butter, stirring with a wooden spoon.
- Mix milk with sugar and heat a little. Then add to the chocolate mass, remove from the water bath and put on fire.
- Stirring, cook until the mass thickens.
- Pour the finished cream into a wider plate and let cool slightly. Separately, prepare a plate with coconut flakes.
- Dip the biscuit pieces one by one into the chocolate sauce, and then cover them evenly on all sides with coconut flakes. You can connect the two halves with whipped cream.
- Let stand at least 3 hours before serving.
Sweet Vietnamese rolls
You will need:
- 4 sheets of rice paper
- 2 bananas
- 2 pears
- 100 g nuts
- 2 tbsp. l. honey
- 150 g cheese (preferably soft, which goes well with fruit)
Cooking:
- Cut the peeled fruit into cubes and add small pieces of cheese to the mass. Put honey and stir in a delicious filling for sweet rolls.
- Spread some napkins on the table. Pour cold water into a bowl. For a minute (or according to the instructions for rice paper), dip the sheets in water.
- Lay them out on paper towels and let them sit for a bit. After a couple of minutes, the paper will become plastic.
- Spread the filling and wrap the rice paper fruit rolls as you like.
Japanese mochi balls with ice cream
You will need:
- 4 tbsp. l. Sahara
- 3 art. l rice flour
- 6 art. l. water
- 150 g ice cream
- dye as desired
Cooking:
- We knead the dough. In flour with sugar, add 5 tbsp. l. water.
- We stir. You will get a fairly homogeneous stretching mass. If you want to add color, now is the time!
- Place in the microwave for exactly two minutes, covered with a damp paper towel. Take out, add another spoonful of water, stir and put in the microwave for another minute, also covered with a towel.
- Let the dough cool, stirring constantly. The dough is perfectly molded in a warm state, and when it cools down, it loses elasticity, so we start sculpting right away. Cover the board with cling film and sprinkle with flour. Sprinkle your hands with flour as well. We take out a little dough, crush it with flour and make cakes out of it.
- The size of the cake depends on the size of the filling. Ideally, the thinner the layer of dough, the better. Cakes are obtained either by stretching the dough, or tapping on it with your fingers.
- We put ice cream in the center of the cakes. We pinch the edges.
- We spread it on a dish lightly sprinkled with flour, and crush it on top. Dessert is ready! (The dessert is stored in the freezer for quite a long time, but it is better not to re-freeze it. If you are expecting guests to arrive, take it out of the freezer 20-30 minutes beforehand so that the filling has time to become soft.)
