Strawberry Cream Slice

Strawberry Cream Slice

(original recipe)

Biscuits

450 g flour
150g butter, on room temperature
150 g sugar
1 1/2 egg whites
150 g sour cream with 20% mm
1 1/2 tsp baking soda

With a mixer beat foamy butter, sugar, egg whites and sour cream. Add sifted flour with baking soda and knead into smooth dough. Leave for half an hour in the fridge.

Divide chilled dough into 6 equal parts. Flatten as thin as possible each piece on a piece of baking paper (dimensions of large oven pan). Bake each biscuit in a preheated oven on 180°C/350°F, on a pan turned upside down, for about 5-7 minutes or until it starts to darken on the edges, but still the biscuit should stay pale in color. When done, put biscuits one on top of another without removing paper and cover with a kitchen cloth.

Cream

1,5 l milk
9 egg yolks
150 g corn starch
260 g sugar
3 bags bourbon vanilla sugar
600 ml heavy cream
1 1/2 bags vanilla flavored whipping cream powder
3 bags powdered gelatin (30 g)

With a mixer beat egg yolks with sugars and milk. Take one part of the liquid and dissolve corn starch in it and put the remaining liquid on low heat. Stir continuously and when it boils, remove from heat and stir in dissolved corn starch. Stir well and return to heat until it thickens. When done, cover the cream with cling film (do not cover the bowl, but put it directly on top of cream). Let it cool completely.

Beat heavy cream and add whipping cream powder. Whip until incorporated. Separately beat previously prepared egg yolk cream and then, add heavy cream and combine. Prepare gelatin according to the instructions on the bag (first, soak it with a couple of tablespoons water, then melt on very low heat). Beat in melted gelatin. Divide cream into 3 equal parts.

Strawberry jelly

450 g strawberries (or other red fruits)
1 1/2 bags vanilla flavored pudding

Puree strawberries in a blender. Pour it into a measuring cup and if there is less liquid than 450 ml add some water. Cook pudding with strawberry puree according to the instructions on the bag, but don’t use milk, but strawberry puree. Divide into 3 equal parts.

Assembling: Remove paper from biscuits. Put: one biscuit – jelly – biscuit – cream… and so on for the remaining layers.

Enjoy! And don’t be scared of the long recipe ;)
